Effective as of April 8, 2026, Novus Architects and Springline Architects have joined INVISION, expanding the firm’s presence in the Southeast and Caribbean and strengthening its reach through The HFW Companies network. The decision reflects a natural fit between these firms who approach design with the same mindset, grounded in collaboration, responsiveness, and a clear understanding of the people each project serves. 

For more than 30 years, Novus has built its work around close client partnerships and a practical, solution-based approach to design. With offices across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (Springline Architects), including Asheville, Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Rocky Mount, St. Thomas, and Winston-Salem, the firm brings a strong regional presence and deep local insight. That perspective complements INVISION’s national experience and long history of work across healthcare, education, civic, workplace, and hospitality environments. 

Together, the unified INVISION expands its ability to support a wide range of project types, including healthcare, education, faith-based, municipal, workplace, hospitality, civic, and mixed-use work. Clients will continue working with the teams they know, now connected to a broader network of expertise and resources across offices. 

The merger also strengthens how teams work together. With more opportunities to collaborate across regions, staff can share knowledge, learn from one another, and bring a wider range of perspectives to each project. 

As these team join INVISION, the focus remains steady, continuing to build strong relationships, stay connected to communities, and deliver thoughtful design that responds to how people live, work, and gather.
