About Company

Narrate Design (formerly Selser Schaefer Architects) is an architectural, interiors, and planning firm inspired by people-first design and committed to creating environments that tell each client’s story with purpose, clarity, and a distinct point of view. Since 1993, the company has collaborated with a wide range of clients on projects spanning placemaking, adaptive reuse, preservation, renovations, and the design of work, learning, multi-family, retail, municipal, and community environments. Narrate Design focuses on spaces that connect people, strengthen neighborhoods, and respect local history, integrating sustainability and long-lasting adaptability into its approach so buildings can evolve and take on new life over time. Drawing on broad sector experience and advanced tools like Revit and 3D modeling, we combine thoughtful, research-driven design with efficient processes to meet budget and schedule goals while enhancing the daily experiences of the people who use the spaces.
