Baskervill

What Baskervill does

Baskervill is a privately held multidisciplinary architecture, interior design, and MEP engineering firm founded in 1897/1898 and headquartered in Richmond, Virginia. It operates as a professional services consultancy with offices in Richmond (HQ), Orlando, Washington DC, Denver, Charlotte, and Gdańsk, Poland, delivering integrated design across nine practice studios: Hospitality, Workplace, Civic, Education, Cultural, Healthcare, Manufacturing & Logistics, Masterplanning, and Mixed-Use & Multifamily. Core offerings span architecture, interior design, MEP engineering, masterplanning, sustainable design (including LEED, WELL, and net-zero execution), historic and adaptive reuse, building envelope and forensics, and architectural graphics. Project activity covers U.S. states from Virginia to California and international work in Poland, Jamaica, and Turks & Caicos.

The firm makes money primarily through project-based professional services fees quoted per engagement, targeting enterprise, institutional, and government clients. Named customers span hospitality brands (Marriott, Hilton, citizenM, Beaches Resorts), insurance/financial (Kinsale Capital), healthcare (Bon Secours), higher education (College of William & Mary, Wake Forest University, University of Richmond, Longwood University, Emory), and government (Chesterfield County Public Schools, Virginia Department of General Services). Go-to-market is sales-led, direct client engagement with no intermediaries; the firm relies on principal-owned relationships, professional organization memberships (AIA, ASID, USGBC), industry awards, and thought-leadership content (The ASK newsletter) for demand generation. Quantifiable project outcomes include LEED Silver, WELL Gold, and a 126-kW solar installation generating 156,000 kWh annually.

The ownership structure is principal/employee-owned; no parent company, private equity, or funding rounds are disclosed. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The leadership team comprises a Principal and Executive Vice President (Brad Richards), a Board Chair (Burt Pinnock), Managing Directors leading each regional office, multiple Design Directors, a Director of Human Resources (April Martinez), and a 2026 cohort of newly promoted Principals and Associates. The firm's stated differentiators are 125+ years of continuous operation, integrated multi-discipline services, deep community engagement via the 5% Ask initiative, and a dense award record across hospitality, civic, cultural, and workplace projects.
