Organization Profile

Currently in its second decade, The Architects Enterprise, Ltd. (TAEL) is a professional firm engaged in providing architecture, planning, interiors and construction-related services to businesses and organizations throughout the United States. With offices in Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia, we deliver solutions wherever the problem at hand can benefit from the uniqueness of our experience and expertise.

The emergence of TAEL as one of the most respected architecture and planning firms for K-12 and higher education facilities and corporate interiors stems from the firm’s ability to deliver innovative design and sound value to its clients. The firm’s philosophy is to strive to thoroughly analyze and understand clients’ needs and deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions that address those needs rather than just their symptoms. We also research and specify materials and finishes that correspond to the anticipated use in a facility, in order to facilitate maintenance and retain the long-term fresh appearance of the project.
