As the child of an art historian father, Charles Moore took family road trips seeking out buildings to marvel at. He also read from an extensive library of architecture books \u201cthat introduced me to the inspiring role architects play in shaping the built environment,\u201d he recounts. Following attendance at the Corcoran School of Art and a course of study in architecture at Virginia Tech, he worked at several prestigious DC firms before launching his own in 1988.<\/p>\n
Today, Moore Architects, PC, is a predominantly residential studio with a staff of about 10 designing custom homes, renovations, additions, adaptive reuse and historic preservation in the DMV region and beyond. \u201cEach project is designed from the inside out, shaped first by how the client lives and then by the context of its site and street,\u201d Moore notes. \u201cWe don\u2019t apply a signature style\u2014we apply signature rigor.\u201d<\/p>\n
A five-phase process\u2014from initial conversation to schematic design, design development, construction drawings and full construction administration\u2014gives clients clear milestones and a single point of contact throughout. Says Moore, \u201cOur goal is to make the entire experience as rewarding as the finished home.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2025, Moore Architects, PC, received two awards from DESIGNArlington\u2019s bi-annual design competition and was named Best Architect by Falls Church News-Press.<\/p>\n
