About Anne
As a 10-year-old, Anne kept a sketchbook of floor plans, so her career choice was pretty much a foregone conclusion. She completed degrees in both architecture and interior design, which allows her to plan interior spaces that seamlessly integrate with the overall goals of a project. Whether designing a small aesthetic remodeling or a large corporate interior, Anne is passionate about finessing the details to make inside spaces inspiring places to be. The firmâs first employee after it was founded by the partners, Anne is also a certified LEED Accredited Professional to assist clients with energy and environmentally conscious design.
Commercial Architect Serving Wisconsin
Abacus Architects is a commercial architect serving developers, business owners, organizations, and contractors throughout Wisconsin. With offices in Milwaukee, Sheboygan, Manitowoc, and Racine County, we have a local presence across the state for projects wherever they are located. Our work spans office buildings, industrial and manufacturing facilities, multifamily housing, education, healthcare, religious, senior living, and hospitality projects. Whatever the building type, the approach is the same: architecture, civil engineering, and interior design under one roof, one dedicated project manager, and a design process built around your budget from day one.
We have completed more than 3,400+ projects across Wisconsin over 20+ years, working with clients on new construction, additions, and renovations of every scale.
Office and Corporate ArchitectureÂ
Your headquarters and workplace reflect who you are as a company. Abacus helps Wisconsin's organizations design office buildings and workplaces that support how teams actually work, adapt to how the business grows, and hold up over time. We focus on layout efficiency, natural light, and spaces your team is glad to come into.
Industrial and Manufacturing ArchitectureÂ
Wisconsin has one of the most active manufacturing economies in the country, and Abacus has extensive experience designing and renovating manufacturing facilities, food processing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers across the state. Our clients include Johnsonville Sausage, Old Wisconsin Sausage, and Vollrath. We understand how production environments work and design with operations in mind from the start.
Education ArchitectureÂ
Abacus has particular depth in private and faith-based school design. We currently work with several Wisconsin schools simultaneously, supporting new construction, additions, and renovations for institutions raising capital privately rather than through referendums. Our portfolio includes Sheboygan Christian High School, Sheboygan Lutheran High School, Oostburg Christian School, and others across the state.
Hospitality Architecture
In hospitality, the guest experience starts with the building, and every design decision either supports it or works against it. We understand the operational requirements that owners and operators need designed in from day one.
Civic Architecture
Wisconsin communities rely on public buildings that work for everyone who uses them, and Abacus has experience designing and renovating civic facilities, including municipal offices, community centers, public safety buildings, and libraries. We understand the budget scrutiny and public accountability that come with civic projects, and we design accordingly, keeping costs visible and value defensible throughout every phase. Our civil engineering and architecture services under one roof simplify coordination for municipalities that need one accountable team.
Healthcare Architecture
Healthcare facilities carry a level of operational complexity that most building types do not, and our team has experience designing clinics, medical office buildings, and specialty healthcare facilities across Wisconsin. We design with staff workflow, patient flow, and code compliance in mind from the start, rather than retrofitting clinical requirements into a standard commercial shell. The result is a building that supports the way care is actually delivered.
Religious Architecture
Wisconsin faith communities build with intention, and Abacus has experience designing and renovating churches, worship centers, and faith-based facilities across the state. These projects require a balance that few building types demand: spaces that serve the congregation's spiritual mission while respecting the practical realities of privately raised capital and long-term facility stewardship. We work closely with church leadership and building committees to keep the process transparent and the design grounded in what the congregation actually needs.
Senior Living Architecture
Senior living development in Wisconsin has continued to grow, and Abacus brings experience in independent living, assisted living, and memory care facilities to clients navigating this market. We understand the licensing requirements, life-safety code standards, and resident experience considerations that shape senior living design, and we work with developers and operators to deliver buildings that meet regulatory requirements without sacrificing livability.
