Our Mission
We at Self+Tucker Architects share a vision of what architecture in Memphis and the Mid-South should be. Since our founding, our team has stewarded projects of various scales, schedules, and budgets throughout the Delta region. Because of our commitment to meeting client our goals, STA has been a trusted advisor, project partner, and design collaborator for 30 Years. Working collaboratively, we craft architectural experiences that extend beyond the built environment to positively impact people, neighborhoods, cities, and the natural world.
That’s why we built a team of committed professionals all dedicated to the same mission — to design a better Memphis.

The people of Self + Tucker Architects are dedicated to enriching the lives of Memphians with exceptional designs and a placemaking philosophy that respects both the meaning of the sites we transform and the purpose of the projects we undertake.

Our Services
Self + Tucker Architects use technology to create a more collaborative and informative design experience for everyone. We utilize cutting-edge design technology, from initial concept through the finished design, to confirm that we understand your vision, facilitate your ability to co-design with us and to vividly bring projects to life.
In addition to our creative strengths, we understand budgets, schedules, feasibility analysis, facility maintenance, life cycle costs and all the practical issues related to building design whether new construction or renovation.
We focus on design from both an aspirational perspective but also carefully consider the project purpose and practicalities. By using this multi layered approach, we consistently craft designs that are responsive, facilitate human interaction and connections; as well as architecturally enhance the communities that we serve.
