MISSION STATEMENT:
Architecture is, first and foremost, about building
design and construction.
Klitzing Welsch Associates understands these
basics of both architecture itself and the
profession of architecture.
This understanding, along with the firm's experience,
is applied to produce an ever-maturing building aesthetic
and complete and accurate construction documents.
