WOLF ACKERMAN is an architecture firm based in Charlottesville, Virginia. We design commercial, institutional and residential projects of all shapes and sizes providing clients throughout Virginia and beyond with full planning, architectural and interior design services.

The firm focuses on innovative and modern design led by its two founding partners – Fred Wolf and Dave Ackerman – who together share over 65 years of professional experience working on a wide variety of projects that have ranged from residential additions and renovations to commercial offices and mixed-use / multi-family developments to large-scale, high-rise commercial construction.

Each partner received their professional degrees from the University of Virginia School of Architecture where they have also taught studios as adjunct faculty. We have worked locally over the years with a number of non-profits in support of our community such as Lighthouse Studio, 2nd Street Gallery, New City Arts, Building Goodness Foundation and Live Arts Theater.

Established in 2002, WOLF ACKERMAN has built a reputation for creativity and design excellence receiving numerous awards and recognition for the quality of our work and the contributions our projects make to our community. Our practice is distinguished by our ability to listen carefully to our clients, to work effectively with them in support of their goals, and to assure their projects are executed successfully during construction. In that spirit, we develop design solutions that are creative in their accommodation of program, sensitive in their response to the site, expressive of their materiality and how the building is assembled and respectful of sustainable design and construction considerations.
