Our Company

As a building and planning firm, OAPD provides you with the unsurpassed services you need.

Owner and principal architect Arthur Yellin developed his expertise with a wide variety of building and project types while working for other well-known design firms. OAPD, therefore has respect for the work of others and an openness to different project types, styles, directions and solutions. Rather than relying on past solutions, we explore all possibilities with our clients. We are open to large, complex ventures with a variety of project characteristics or clients are invited to communicate their thoughts and feelings and participate in the design process.
