Alice Dodson Architect, principal, AIA member
Alice has been practicing architecture since 1977. After 14 years of experience in different architectural offices starting in Europe, then in California, and North Carolina, she started her own practice in 1991 in Asheville, NC. She was educated and trained in Europe and in the United States and traveled and gathered information from a variety of cultures in Europe, Asia, and in America. She calls upon her professional and personal life experiences to create with you and for you an optimal design and provide you with the best services.

Four of us work together in our Asheville office in a cooperative way as independent contractors.
