Who We Are

At Touchette Design Partners, collaboration and trust are foundational.  We devote our full attention to our clients and their projects. 

We are an intentionally small firm.  When the work requires it, we staff-up with like-minded colleagues and utilize contract labor partners.  For us, a successful project brings our clients’ ideas to fruition and creates a unique friendship in the process. 

We are NCARB Certified with licenses to practice in Colorado and North Carolina. 

About Us

Chris and Susan grew up on the East Coast and moved to the Rocky Mountains after graduating from college.  In 2023, after a combined 57-years of professional service in Colorado with CCY Architects, we reinvented our careers and relocated to North Carolina to be closer to family. 

While we now call University Park in Raleigh home, we live for our time together at Camp Hayward in Topsail Beach as well as our summertime adventures on Indian Pine Bluff in the 1,000 Islands, NY.

Chris focuses on architectural design and planning.  As a graduate of Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, his strategic thought process creatively merges aesthetics with sustainability and constructability into project vision. Susan leads the interiors and office management. Graduating from the College of Architecture and Design at Virgina Tech, her experience delivering outstanding design ranges from crafting interior finishes and spaces to wrestling with complex, client-driven schedules on challenging project sites.
