William Heyer Architect

Expressing BEAUTY through the timeless language of classical & sacred architecture

Est. Columbus, Ohio

T he classical language of architecture is a continuous tradition throughout the whole of architectural history. Classical principles, based on time-honored rules set down over two millenia ago, form a living language which invigorates and gives meaning to architecture and reveals beauty in infinite expressions. Our office is dedicated to these principles which educate, refresh and inspire.

W illiam Heyer Architect offers expertise in design with passionate diligence about even the smallest architectural details. This symmetric approach to classicism is why clients retain our services and are immensely satisfied with their new churches, restored or beautified interiors, new additions, new furniture, or even the prospect of future development through our master planning services.
