Pappas Architects

Introduction: Do you want a unique residential architecture, governmental architecture or commercial architecture concept that will give you a place to play, live, shop, eat or work? If so, there is only one architectural firm to call in the Pittsburgh, PA, area. With our incredible technical capabilities, Pappas Architects can tackle any project you throw our way. Pappas Architects is the architectural design firm in the Pittsburgh area that can fit any need and any budget. We are a family owned and operated architectural company with architect design services that go above and beyond the typical larger architectural firms in Pittsburgh, PA. I began my career in architecture with the firm of Tasso Katselas, with a one year detour as a design instructor at the Penn State University school of architecture. I opened my first architectural firm in 1972 and designed many commercial, residential and institutional buildings until 1982 when Tasso Katselas asked me to re-join his firm to to head up the design of the Pittsburgh International Airport where I worked as the chief architect until it's completion in 1992. During my tenure at the Katselas Office, I designed many large projects in addition to the airport until going back to personal practice in 2006. During my career, I have developed many related skills including painting, sculpture stained glass design and furniture design for the purpose of enhancing and complimenting my architecture. My work flows seamlessly between these related arts and they are always incorporated in my architectural designs.
