Contemporary Creative Approach to Architecture (CCAA) is a generalist architecture and design firm founded in Philadelphia in 2016.

CCAA’s design approach is committed to sustainable building practices, regardless if the project seeks administrative recognition.  From the inception through the completion phase of each project we listen to and learn from our Clients’ needs, concerns, incentives, and aspirations. Thus, CCAA distills the essence of the project and strives to deliver clean and simple, yet creative and durable design solution, relevant and responsive to the problems of contemporary life.  The firm’s design process is highly collaborative; recognizing that constant communication with Clients, consultants and builders defines issues and facilitates resourceful solutions.  Our business approach is to remain loyal to our client and consultant partnerships. By completing meaningful and evocative designs on schedule, within tight budgets and challenging conditions, CCAA provides its Clients with a direct return on investment.

CCAA offers a number of services customized to the particular needs of each Client, and we are comfortable working on projects of various scales, styles, or budgets.
