About sur+development

A boutique company between architecture, urbanism, and development.

sur+development believes the future of housing will be shaped by many well-designed small projects. We focus on compact sites and overlooked parcels where infill can add homes and long-term community value.

Based in Florida and informed by work across the Americas, our studio balances financial discipline with architectural ambition.

Housing systems

Compact footprints, legible entries, shared landscape, and flexible plans create stronger neighborhood identity.
