About Cedar

Cedar is a full-service architecture design firm that combines technology with infill housing expertise. We built our company to break through the major barriers that block housing creation in the U.S. By tackling the issues of speed, cost, quality and predictability on the design side, we can unlock housing potential across the country. Our organization is comprised of both architects and software engineers. We collaborate to design beautiful, responsive housing projects more efficiently than traditional architectural practices.
