Greenbelt, MD – November 30, 2021 – Pendulum Studio (Pendulum), an architectural design firm devoted to strategy-oriented projects and client-centered relationships, is expanding to the Maryland market, to accommodate rapid growth and leverage the area’s diverse architecture, design, and community enhancement. 

With Kansas City as the base of its operation, Pendulum has spent over a decade implementing their design philosophy and process from region to region. Pendulum has a diverse portfolio of projects across the Country, including 28 sports and entertainment facilities. The volume of work that they are projecting for the future has created an opportunity to expand their footprint in a way that allows them to work faster and more efficiently. 

Pendulum has spent the last three years assembling personnel and resources that set the stage for strategic expansion with a focus on regions, like Maryland, that embrace aggressive growth, innovation, and diversity. 

Many have commented that Pendulum is one of “the best kept secrets” in architecture. 

Pendulum created award-winning designs and innovative concepts under the leadership of award-winning architect and CEO Jonathan O’Neil Cole, who has made significant impacts on communities across the nation for the last 15 years. Mr. Cole has an eye for design that is complimented by his ability to realize the potential of every project to deliver long-term value to his clients and their stakeholders. He has developed an expertise in the development of community-oriented designs that foster environmental and economic sustainability. 

“The decision to expand our presence into Maryland was a logical step in our business growth strategy,” said Jonathan O’Neil Cole, Principal, Pendulum Studio. “We have the opportunity to further expand staffing and capabilities in design and documentation of civic structures, multi-family housing, and sports facilities, as well as increase our ability to service current and future markets.

About Pendulum Studio:
We are more than a studio, more than architects, more than designers, we are a movement – a movement that creates the right solutions that perform beyond expectation, beyond definition. As experts in an array of architectural types, we have focused our practice on community enhancement, specialty projects, and sports facility design. Although we are a small firm, a key differentiation between Pendulum and large firms is the fact that when you select Pendulum you get dedicated and direct involvement of the principal owner of the firm. Our principal owner is a “working principal” so the high expectations we have outlined for our staff is the same expectation of our principal as it relates all aspects of project delivery including sketching, drafting, 3D modeling, project documentation, and exhibiting an overall knowledge of advanced industry technology and market trends.
