Commonwealth Architects
“One creative mind is great, but a group of creative minds collaborating is invaluable – not only for the firm but also for the client’s needs and vision.”

Ruth DeBoer

Associate / Architectural Designer

Ruth’s dependability and thorough design efforts cause clients to request her by name. From the moment she meets a client, she has a strong determination to understand their needs, wants, expectations, culture and industry so that she can fully develop a plan for their project. While Ruth has experience with many types of projects, her favorites involve multi-family and historical state buildings.
