Our Story
Halflants + Pichette is one of Florida’s most recognized architecture firms, honored by the AIA and Association of Licensed Architects for design excellence. Our residential and commercial projects have been featured in leading publications including Dwell Magazine, Residential Architect, and Florida Caribbean Architect.
RESIDENTIAL AND
COMMERCIAL
Halflants + Pichette designs and builds high-quality custom homes, multi-family housing, and commercial projects across Florida’s Gulf Coast. From Clearwater to Venice, our work blends thoughtful architecture with a full-service construction approach. We create single-family residences, multi-unit communities, office spaces, and mixed-use developments that combine modern design with lasting performance. Every project is guided by the same focus on context, craftsmanship, and long-term value.
Client Centered
We value diversity, communication, and resilience in every project. Our team speaks five languages, represents nine countries, and brings global experience to both residential and commercial design. Each project begins with listening and careful planning, continues with collaboration and transparency, and finishes with a building designed to last. By combining modern design with resilient construction, we deliver spaces that balance beauty, performance, and context. The result is architecture that strengthens communities, supports businesses, and reflects the goals of each client.
Design-Build
Our architects, designers, and builders work together from day one to align vision, budget, and schedule. This design-led process avoids generic solutions and emphasizes functionality. By handling everything in-house—from architectural design and interior design to master planning and construction—we give clients a single point of contact and a predictable path to completion. Our design-build approach improves efficiency, reduces delays, and ensures consistency from concept through construction.
Gulf Coast Trusted
Halflants + Pichette is trusted in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and Venice for both residential and commercial projects. We design and build everything from modern homes to multi-family housing, office spaces, and mixed-use communities. Our projects respond to the climate and conditions of Florida’s Gulf Coast while meeting the needs of families, developers, and businesses. Clients count on us for creative design, precise construction, and a streamlined process that delivers consistent results.
