Over 40 years ago, ANF Architects was founded by Lee Askew III, a native Memphian. Working closely with FedEx and other Memphis corporate clients, Lee found a way to keep his clients happy: listen closely, understand the key issues, and then use innovative design to resolve the issues in their new facility and, of course, monitor the work progress to be sure that their new facility was cost effective, easily maintained, and value based.
This business practice has served ANF, and our clients, very well ever since. During the past 40+ years, ANF has grown to as many as 45 people and added services including Master Planning, Interior Design, Construction Management, Scheduling and Cost estimating. On staff, ANF now has 11 LEED accredited professionals and a Virtual Reality Studio. ANF is a leader in this region in Sustainable Design, Facility Assessments, Building Information Management (BIM), Adaptive Reuse, and Fast-track Construction.
But we are most proud of our commitment to the Memphis community.

He is intrigued by the latest high-tech gadgets and is a believer in technology, but also acknowledges it can be a thorn in the side at times.
Joe understands that technology enhances the design process, but that design concepts begin with an idea and a pencil.
He believes that a good architect is one who listens well and collaborates, asks questions, understands the problem(s), and comes up with a good solution(s) - quickly and within budget.
