Our Building-Design Services in the Poconos
S|D|A Architects, P.C. is your Poconos architect partner through the entirety of your project. We listen to every client’s unique needs. Our designs respect the history of your brand appearance while keeping you turned toward the future.
Our construction-informed building plans account for structural feasibility, site conditions, and environmental safety. Every schematic design we produce incorporates the needs and functions of the structure with carefully planned visual elements such as interior navigation, lighting, color schemes, and aesthetics.
We believe the buildings that serve their purposes best are those that don’t call attention to their layouts. Visitors should intuitively know where to go and what to do. If our architectural designs are the intellect, the walkthrough experience is the feeling.
Our full-service architect firm serves the commercial, residential, and tourism needs of Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, Tannersville, Marshalls Creek, Pocono Pines, Mt. Pocono, Jim Thorpe, Lehighton, Lake Naomi, and the entire Pocono Mountains region.

Architecture Designed for the Pocono Mountains
The Poconos is more than a place where people shop and live. It’s a destination for travelers throughout the Northeast. S|D|A Architects, P.C. is your regional expert in designing structures that fit the unique mountainous landscape of the Poconos.
We design buildings in industries such as:
Our principal, Scott Douglas Allen, brings years of construction experience to his architectural designs. He understands an effective design is only as good as its feasibility in the real world. This is where initial site evaluations and strategic planning become paramount.
We adapt each design to the building’s intended function and future build site. We can accommodate the crisp, clean look of a modern shopping center or the mountain-modern appeal of a recreation area such as a ski resort or restaurant.
We are Northeastern Pennsylvania natives, proud to play a role in the ongoing growth of business and tourism in the Pocono Mountains.
