Sealander Architects is an eastern Maine architecture and interior design firm creating well-designed environments that free people to do their best work.
We are redefining the practice of architecture to solve the facility needs of people in the education, service and institutional sectors. How? The production of drawings has always been the labor intensive part of architecture. New technologies allow us to place the emphasis where it belongs: Helping clients define their facility needs, and producing designs that answer these needs. Shifting energy to the discovery of solutions produces better buildings.
Environments matter. People want to be in places where they can thrive. We help organizations create that better place.
