What Arcturis does

Arcturis is a full-service architecture, planning, and design studio founded in 1977 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, with a workforce of 101-250 employees. The firm offers an integrated service portfolio spanning Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Graphic Design & Brand Experience, Workplace Strategy, and FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) Design. Its technical capabilities include sustainable design with documented LEED Gold, Silver, and Platinum certifications, adaptive reuse of historic buildings (notably the Philip Johnson-designed former General American Life Insurance Co. building for Spire), and workplace strategy consulting that integrates change management with physical design.

Arcturis serves a diversified client base across corporate/enterprise (Edward Jones, Centene, Spire, Ameren, Caleres, Wells Fargo-implied Fortune 100 Financial Client), healthcare (BJC Healthcare, Centene data center, Missouri Primary Care Association Center of Excellence), higher education (Washington University, St. Louis Community College), public/nonprofit (Lambert St. Louis International Airport, Boys & Girls Club, Pedal the Cause), and startup/innovation tenants of the St. Louis Cortex District (Wugen, Cofactor Genomics, CIC@CET). The firm is WBE certified, an AIA 2030 Commitment signatory, and has received industry recognition including AIA Distinguished Award and IES Illumination Award of Merit.

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements, with pricing determined by scope, complexity, and scale. Projects are acquired primarily through direct business development, RFP responses, client referrals, and reputation within the St. Louis market and broader Midwest region, with an expanding project footprint into the Southwest (Austin, TX) and West Coast (Novato, CA). Arcturis acquired Square Feet Studio, retained as a sub-brand, and operates with no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no public listing, functioning as an independent private design firm.
