Seibert Architects has received recognition for design excellence and its ability to solve architectural problems in a variety of work based on sensitivity to the Florida Gulf Coast environment and concern for its inhabitants.

History

Edward J. Seibert FAIA began his professional career in the Sarasota office of the world renowned architect, Paul Rudolph. In 1955, he established his own firm in Sarasota and was nationally recognized early in his career as a leader in what is now referred to as the Sarasota School of Architecture.

His work was widely praised for demonstrating that excellence was possible even in small projects with minimal budgets. Using ordinary materials and strong geometrical forms he made a new architecture remarkably suited to Florida’s semi-tropical environment.

As the scale and nature of his practice grew from small houses to large projects, Seibert and his design team demonstrated great versatility while continuing to explore and refine a design philosophy of articulate geometry and sculpturally elegant spaces.

Today, Seibert Architects PA continues this design legacy. Now headed by Samuel C. Holladay AIA, a member of the firm since 1972, Seibert Architects PA upholds its commitment to architecture as art.
