Founded in 1919, GuestReddick Architects is a leading architectural firm in western Arkansas and has created much of the architectural profile of Fort Smith, Arkansas.

GuestReddick Architects has a track record of successful projects in a number of areas:

Originally founded by E. Chester Nelson, GuestReddick has evolved with a unique tradition of leadership transition through its history.

In 1996, a new chapter began when the leadership shifted to the principal partner, Gordon Guest, and the firm name changed to GuestReddick Architects. Although the name of the firm has changed, it remains a full service practice with professionals skilled in planning, programming, architectural design, production and interior design.

In 2007, the mantle of leadership was again passed from Gordon Guest to James Reddick who became president of the firm in late 2006. Although Gordon has reduced his work week in anticipation of future retirement, he continues to work and serves the firm as an advisor through the role of Chairman of the Board.

GuestReddick attributes much of its success to a continuing commitment to producing functional, well-crafted buildings and spaces by placing equal emphasis on programming, design development, construction documents and construction administration. We pride ourselves on our ability to lead clients through the difficult process of design and construction by providing a systematic sequence for making physical planning decisions, resulting in a high level of design excellence.

All of GuestReddick's projects are assigned a project team of design and production staff under the leadership of a senior architect. Involvement of our senior leadership along with the teams' engineers, consultants and cost estimators throughout the design and planning process assures that technical and aesthetic requirements can be blended into a creative solution.
