The professional staff of the Newport Collaborative Architects, Inc. (NCA) participates in a dynamic, collaborative process of design, rather than adhering to any particular stylistic school of architecture. This approach allows us to meet the design challenges of a variety of projects and, as needed, to successfully involve the community, reaching consensus for a shared vision or plan.
