About Us

Our staff of 10 includes 5 licensed senior Architects, each with over 25 years experience as well as project support staff of Intern Architects. We have 1 staff member based in Michigan. The Architects of SMP are currently registered in 20 States, reflecting our expanding project range and national capabilities.
SMP opened our first office in 2014 and moved to our current location in Sycamore Township, just North of Cincinnati, in 2021. SMP was founded in 2009 by Kevin Spector and Greg Phillips, while working together at prominent design firm in Cincinnati. Their collaboration and partnership on large, complex projects over 13 years at this firm, incubated an entrepreneurial spirit to create a design practice that drew from their variety of experiences and expertise, to deliver a variety of projects of varying scales and typologies. SMP design has a diverse project portfolio that ranges from custom single family homes, to medium-sized projects in the 4 to 12 million Dollar range, to large projects approaching 100 million Dollars.
Our primary market areas include Healthcare, Industrial, Public and Government, Workplace, Higher Education, Hospitality, Multi-family, and Single-family Residential. We are a full-service firm that often leads large and complex projects, but we are also very accustomed to being team members of Engineer-led and Contractor-led projects. Our creativity, reliability, and understanding of the construction process (through experience as Design Builders for our first 5 years), allows us to create successful partnerships with many engineering firms, contractors, and prestigious clients such as Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, GE Aerospace, many local government entities such Boone County in Kentucky and Clermont County in Ohio, Indian Hills Schools, DTE Energy/Ford, Extended Stay America, and various Universities.
