Greenfield Architects

What Greenfield Architects does

Greenfield Architects Ltd. is a private, Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based professional architectural firm founded in 1990 and wholly owned by High Companies, a 90+ year family conglomerate. The firm provides full-service architecture, planning, interior design, and LEED-certified sustainable design for clients across commercial, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, education, government, retail, and residential sectors in the eastern United States. Its service offering spans the full project lifecycle—conceptual and schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding/negotiation, and construction administration—supplemented by master planning, feasibility and code-compliance studies, adaptive reuse, and space planning. Core technology centers on Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3-D visualization, and photo-realistic rendering rather than any proprietary software platform.

The firm operates as a project-based professional services practice, earning fees scoped to each engagement with no standardized public pricing. Its go-to-market is sales-led, with projects sourced through direct enterprise relationships, competitive selection processes, referrals within the AEC industry, and the affiliated High Companies ecosystem (which contributes under 20% of work today, as more than 80% of engagements are now third-party). Notable enterprise clients include Penn State Health, Marriott, Hilton, Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Lancaster County Government, Messiah University, Acme/Albertson's, Turkey Hill Dairy, Schott Pharmaceutical Packaging, and the Antique Automobile Club of America, with individual project scopes ranging from small renovations to facilities exceeding 1.4M SF.

Greenfield Architects has approximately 11–50 employees, with a senior leadership team that includes President Francis S. Fox (since 1994, AIA/NCARB/LEED BD+C), Vice President John T. Snavely (since April 2024), and Senior Project Architects Tom Marcinkoski (since 1999) and Jonathan Weaver (since August 2025). Its competitive positioning rests on adaptive reuse expertise, LEED-certified sustainable design (including a first LEED v4 Gold certification in 2023), and the embedded cross-sell advantage of being part of the High Companies family of developers, contractors, hoteliers, and concrete producers. The firm does not disclose revenue, has no external funding, and shows no AI/ML capability in the input data.
