What STA Architectural Group does

STA Architectural Group is a privately held architectural and interior design firm founded in 1985 by Todd and Isabel Tragash in Miami Beach, now headquartered at 3526 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida. The firm operates as a boutique, relationship-driven practice with principals directly involved in projects, serving affluent private residential clients, hospitality operators, commercial developers, and public/nonprofit institutions primarily across South Florida, with selected international engagements in the Bahamas (Exuma) and Bolivia (Santa Cruz). Its headcount sits in the 11-50 employee range, consistent with a principal-led boutique model rather than a scaled enterprise.

The firm's service catalog is organized under two integrated practices — Architecture and Interiors — across seven categories: Residential Architecture (luxury homes, penthouses, multi-unit developments), Commercial Architecture (retail, office, mixed-use), Hospitality Design (hotels, resorts, restaurants, spas), Historic Preservation, Architect of Record services, Public + Nonprofit projects, and a dedicated Interiors division spanning residential, hospitality, and public/nonprofit work. Underlying delivery is hands-on technical development and construction administration carried through by the design team; there is no proprietary technology platform, software product, app, API, or patent disclosed in the source material.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional fees for architectural and interior design services, including concept development, technical design, and construction administration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per engagement based on scope, complexity, and client requirements. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investment; ownership and control rest with the founding principals, who remain active in the business and serve on municipal and neighborhood boards. Distribution is direct: client acquisition runs through reputation, referrals, and visible portfolio work rather than intermediaries or channel partners.
