Mission
PETRVS ARCHITECTURE is a Limited Liability Company that was conceived and established in 2007. Although the firm is located just outside of Philadelphia, PETRVS is literally a “mobile office” in that the use of laptop computers, cellular phones, and external print shops allow us to produce work: anywhere. Accordingly, this mobility has afforded us the ability to reduce capital costs which are usually recovered in proposals by larger firms.
Founder and Owner, Michael Harris, has twenty-eight years of experience, eighteen of which have been in the independent practice of architecture. As architect, his objective is to provide sound and respectful design, integrating past and present.
What Clients are saying...
D.S.
"You made me look like a hero."
E.S.
"With the need to get a project to market, the most critical element needed for my company is a design firm that can design and get through local building departments. After having dealt with many architectural firms over the years, the only firm I will now use is PETRVS & Michael Harris. The ability for plans to be turned around in under 30 days and to pass through the building departments with zero comments has allowed me to get my project to market in a shorter time; saving both me and my client time and money."
G.S.
"Got our project through the Hoboken Building Department on the first attempt. That just doesn't happen here."
J.K.
"You won't meet a more responsive architect."
M.E.
"I appreciate having an excellent Architect with a great attitude to call for help."
M.F.
"When I need something immediately, I turn to PETRVS. Not only are they incredibly responsive, but they are reliable."
P.D.
"We have worked closely with Michael Harris and the staff at PETRVS on many projects over the years. They are the most honest, upstanding, and professional architectural firm we have ever worked with. Their main concern is to satisfy the needs of both the owner and the contractors. Their ability to keep difficult projects on schedule and troubleshoot when necessary is unsurpassed."
