Archer & Buchanan Welcomes Doug Hertsenberg as Principal

April 29, 2024

Archer & Buchanan Architecture is pleased to welcome Doug Hertsenberg, AIA, to the firm as Principal. With a career spanning over 30 years, Doug joins A&B with an incredible breadth of experience that includes single-family custom home design as well as commercial, golf and hospitality, senior living and historic design.

Committed to a prominent local firm since 1990, Doug rose from draftsperson through the ranks to be named partner in 2012. Despite his success in growing the firm’s staff and achievements, Doug remains humble about his contributions and maintains he is “only as good as the team behind me.”

Throughout his career, Doug viewed Archer & Buchanan as a competitor, but with admiration and respect for the firm’s reputation and quality of work. When the time came to make a change, Doug embraced the opportunity to join A&B and credits the shared mindset of delivering an exceptionally high level of value and service for making the transition easy.

“We are thrilled to have Doug Hertsenberg join the Archer & Buchanan team,” says Michele Thackrah, Partner of the firm. “He brings such a wealth of knowledge and experience to his role, and we are confident that his unique insights will be a tremendous asset to our clients and colleagues.”

As Principal at Archer & Buchanan, Doug is pleased to play an important part in supporting the firm and contributing to the shared goals of providing design and service excellence. While custom residential design has been a thread running through his entire career, Doug looks forward to additionally applying his decades of diverse project experience to the service of clients seeking to do work outside the residential realm.

Much of Doug’s success undoubtedly comes from his commitment to fostering and sustaining solid relationships and a strong rapport with clients and project team members. “It’s clear that Doug sees client satisfaction as the core mandate that drives everything,” comments Archer & Buchanan founding partner, Richard Buchanan. “This, combined with his breadth of experience, assures us that he will take any project handed to him and knock it out of the park!”
