The professional organization for architects, with resources on design, practice and the built environment.
The American Institute of Architects, known as AIA, describes itself as the leading professional organization for architects and design professionals. Its website covers practice resources, design topics, advocacy and information about hiring an architect. Nashville homeowners planning a major remodel or addition may meet AIA when an architect prepares drawings that include kitchen and built-in cabinet layouts.
We are an independent cabinet company and are not part of AIA. We use its public information as a reference point and send you to the official site to read it yourself. When a project has an architect, we build from their drawings and are glad to coordinate details such as cabinet sizes, appliances and trim.
