CALL US
For over 60 years, DRS Architects has shaped Pittsburgh’s skyline and beyond with purpose, precision, and passion. Founded in 1959 and rooted in iconic projects like Mellon Square and the Civic Arena, our story began with bold ideas — and hasn’t slowed down since.
We grew up alongside the city, evolving from a regional powerhouse into a dynamic, design-forward firm with national reach. From the multi-use marvel of Three Rivers Stadium to modern-day hospitality and institutional spaces, we’ve never stopped pushing boundaries.
In 2024, DRS entered a new chapter through our acquisition by Sixmo Companies — a move that supercharged our capabilities while preserving the soul of who we are: thoughtful architects with a relentless commitment to quality, collaboration, and client focus.
We honor the past, design for the now, and build for what’s next.
DRS Architects is in its sixth generation of leadership collectively offering nearly 100 years of experience amongst its principals, Jon Funari, RA; Patrick Thornton, AIA; and Jared Perry, PE.
Supported by a talented group of professionals throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio, our team is positioned to carry on the storied DRS reputation for excellence.
