What is Architectural Resources Group?
Founded in 1980 by Bruce Judd and Steve Farneth in San Francisco, CA, Architectural Resources Group (ARG) initially focused on professional services in architecture and urban planning, with a pronounced specialization in historic preservation. The firm expanded its capabilities significantly over the years, notably with the establishment of ARG Conservation Services in 2000, a dedicated conservation-contracting division operating under the same umbrella. By 2005, ARG had evolved into a comprehensive, full-service architecture firm boasting over 50 employees and extending its reach with offices in Pasadena to serve Southern California and Portland, Oregon, for the Pacific Northwest market. This strategic growth positions ARG as a multifaceted entity in the architectural services landscape.
