Core offering

Schroeder and Holt Architects SHA / Architecture 2000 A2K is a Milwaukee-based architectural, master planning, and interior design firm providing comprehensive design services for new construction, renovations, and additions. The firm specializes in movie theaters, senior living facilities, retail, restaurants, and religious/educational spaces, with NCARB certification enabling licensing in 37 states and staff continuity from design through construction documentation.

Product overview

SHA-A2K is a single, unified architectural services practice rather than a platform or modular product. The firm provides comprehensive architectural, master planning, and interior design services organized around several practice specializations: Movie Theater Design (including dine-in theaters and lounge concepts), Senior Living Facility Design (memory care, CBRF, and continuum of care), Retail Design (department stores, grocery, pharmacy), Religious/Education Facility Design (schools and churches), and Restaurant Design. The two legacy firms—Schroeder and Holt Architects (established 1977, specializing in movie theaters and retail) and A2K (established 1993, specializing in elder care and religious spaces)—merged under David C. Baum's leadership to create the current integrated practice. Services include new construction, renovation, and addition projects with staff continuity throughout project duration.
