R McGhee & Associates Architects is an African-American owned firm based in the heart of Washington DC, specializing in historic preservation, architecture, and urban design. We believe much energy is derived from the multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural nature of our office. We also believe that diversity in both firm composition and imagination is an essential characteristic of our firm. Since we began nearly 20 years ago, our diverse portfolio has included extensive K-12 educational, residential, and institutional work.
