Principals Russ Holcomb, AIA; Sanjeev Patel, AIA; Scott Shell, AIA; and Jay Smith, AIA, guide the design and delivery of complex projects through analysis and conceptional thinking for Duda|Paine Architects’ corporate, commercial, cultural and higher education clients.

At Duda|Paine Architects, architecture is an enduring equation of people, ideas, creativity, and technology. At the heart of their process is a workshop-based studio that conceptualises, collaborates, models, draws, renders, works, plays and generates solutions. This amalgamation is experienced in the buildings and spaces they shape for clients and communities.
