“I cannot speak highly enough of the Summit Team’s professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail. From the initial concept discussions, their team demonstrated a profound understanding of our vision and translated it into a stunning architectural design. Their innovative solutions and expertise truly elevated the project, exceeding our expectations at every stage. Their commitment to bringing our vision to life of transforming ordinary spaces into extraordinary environments, made them stand out from the competition. Working with Summit was an absolute delight, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking exceptional architectural design solutions.”
Our ABC Portfolio is Top Shelf.
We’ve lent our expertise on more than 400 retail projects statewide, from Main Street malls to back road boutiques. In particular, our team has found a niche in designing ABC facilities- including retail, office, and warehouse space. From site planning to conceptual design and construction administration, we have delivered these projects through a comprehensive design process, encompassing all services that will also be necessary for your project.
Our firm has built strong, cooperative relationships with several ABC Boards throughout the state, providing a variety of services for a mixed-bag of projects. We’ve worked with Orange County, Greensboro, and Youngsville ABC Boards to design new retail stores to better service their customers and increase sales. All three locations share an inviting facade to bring passersby in, and a pleasant atmosphere to increase the time spent shopping. Additionally, with the ever-growing number of products on shelves, we ensured each had ample warehouse space.

Your team has shown diligence and dedication and has been a true partner throughout the completion of the project.
