About us

SPIRE Architecture champions the idea of providing authentic living spaces designed to be both functional and affordable. The practice at SPIRE is to provide comprehensive services, offering quality design to clients, along with connections to interior designers, landscape architects, and top-notch construction services for a complete design team. SPIRE was born 5 years ago through the joining of two previous firms, Craig Martin's "Martin Architecture Guild", and Kurt Shepard's "KCS Architects". Together, Craig and Kurt are able to combine the years of design experience, in-the-field construction time, and experience in navigating the sometimes difficult permitting process in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, and throughout Maryland. The SPIRE team strives in all ways for excellence... in design, service to the client, service to the community, and delivery of a wonderful experience as well as a successful project.

We have long ties to Annapolis and had become familiar with Spire and one of its principals, Craig Martin, in particular. Though we live in Virginia, we wanted his particular creative vision and preservation sensitivity for an addition to our old River house, c. 1870. We found Craig and the entire Spire group to be entirely professional, while also personable, excellent listeners, patient and responsive to many questions in a timely manner and attentive to every detail for our schematics. Craig and Brady Reeder, the design technician, were a joy to work with. Our first experience with an architectural firm and it was a fabulous experience.

Very good team to work with. They take every detail into consideration and were able to handle everything. Great designs, plans, service, and attention. Surpassed my expectations, and I will use them again for future projects.

Top notch start to finish. They not only did exactly what we asked, but listened carefully to us in order to help us determine what, in fact, we did need. Basement looks great!

Craig worked on the kitchen, front hall, staircase, and bathroom remodel. Fabulous attention to detail. Good use of existing design elements in our house. Reviewed the project with both my husband and myself on a regular basis to be sure that we were on tract and in line with our wishes. When a design detail didn't seem right we stopped and talked before proceeding. Good use of funds.

Craig and Kurt were able to design an addition to our home that we can't wait to see completed! They worked diligently and professionally to stay within our budget, communicating every step of the way, and facilitated the selection and hiring of our contractor who they work with extremely well. They listened to all of our needs and wants, came up with suggestions of their own, and together we quickly had a completed design. I highly recommend this firm and you won't find nicer people to work with.

"Thanks again Theressa! We can't wait to get into the construction phase! See you on site soon..."

We hired Spire Architecture to design an artist studio space in Annapolis. From beginning to end the project was a wonderful experience. Complete and total collaborative services. The studio space when completed is everything an artist could desire with plenty of light, storage space, outlets and work space. The builders Spire hired were completely professional, cooperative, timely, and a pleasure to work with. I can not recommend Spire too highly. John O

SPIRE Architecture, and the owner, Craig Martin, were a pleasure to work with. He was very diligent and communicative, and answered all of our questions. The work was completed on time, and the final product was absolutely amazing. We really enjoy our new living room space he designed for us!

We used Spire Architecture to create plans for a remodel of our 1939 Lodge in Colorado. Craig Martin designed a gourmet kitchen, luxurious master suite, and new 3-car garage and workshop for us, and we were thrilled with the results. We get so many compliments whenever people come through our doors. Would not use any other architecture company, and no one will help you more than Craig. He's fantastic and the results have been stunning.

"Thanks Debbie R! We have enjoyed seeing your new spaces host numerous guests, and create many a wonderful meal. Can't wait to visit again!"

We worked with Spire to design a screened-in porch addition to our house. Craig had great design ideas and worked well with our contractor. He really listened to what we wanted and gave us several beautiful options to chose from. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

"Thanks a bunch! We are excited that your new space works so well for your yard and for your family. We look forward to hearing more this summer."

I am still working with these guys, but our experience to date has been top knotch! They are confident in every step of the way which is what you need when entering into a commercial project with so many facets and intricacies. The thing that differentiates them from the rest is their vested interest in your project. They got to know our concept and what we were trying to achieve and shared their enthusiasm with our vision. It breathes light into a situation that could otherwise be just another stressful step in the project.
Response from

"So glad to see your Annapolis location has opened and is doing so well! Congrats to you all on a wonderful business, and many happy years of business to you!"
