Two longtime Boulder architects have combined their operations.
Stephen Sparn Architects, PC, recently merged with Sopher Architects LLC, creating Sopher Sparn Architects LLC, a 15-employee firm headquartered at 1731 15th St., the entities announced this week.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
"Our practices complement each other," said Stephen Sparn, principal architect. "We're differentiated enough that there's some synergistic effects."
Sopher's experience in the areas of land planning and entitlement paired well with Sparn Architects' expertise in custom home, multifamily and commercial design, Sparn said.
As a result of the merger, which took effect Jan. 1, Sopher moved his three-person operation to Sparn's newly expanded offices at 1731 15 St. in downtown Boulder, where Sopher Sparn Architects occupy 2,000 square feet.
Sopher Architects previously leased a suite at the Colorado Building, 1919 14th St., in downtown Boulder.
For Sopher, the combination was a means of facilitating further expansion for a practice that experienced exponential growth during the past four years.
"I can't imagine that we could have done more, in the scale of office that we had," Sopher said of his firm's potential growth prior to the merger.
The combined firm this year is moving forward on a couple of notable projects in Boulder, including the 10-acre S*PARK mixed-use project near Boulder Junction and a $5 million renovation of the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder.

A LEADING architects practice has strengthened its team further as it tackles some of the regions most dynamic projects.
Mark Morley has joined Niven Architects, a Darlington-based family firm.
He follows the appointment of senior consultant Peter Hodges who joined as a director as the practice enjoys burgeoning success with some of the regions biggest projects.
A senior architect with some of the North-Easts premier schemes under his belt, Mr Morley will help the senior management team oversee a varied portfolio of significant projects including an in-patient unit at St Teresas Hospice, in Darlington, the town's Feethams Leisure development and a housing scheme on the edge of the town.
The firm recently won a number of UK and international design awards, with a key focus on BIM (Building Information Management) and sustainability.
Director Simon Crowe said: Marks key, strategic appointment is the first of a number of design roles that we hope to make. We have developed a business plan aligned with current and prospective workload that will see the practice grow in stature and turnover during the next three years.
Marks role is fundamentally important to the growth plan as he brings with him a wealth of experience in design and project delivery alongside a very strong and respected relationship with key clients.
Mr Morley, who lives in Hartlepool with his partner Lisa and two children, added: Its an exciting time for the practice with Niven currently involved in a number of really interesting projects.

IT is a major project that will require a high level of expertise and patience.
But the architect firm that wins the contract to rebuild the partially destroyed Mackintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art will also come under intense scrutiny as they resurrect the world famous building.
Companies based in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and Hong Kong have today been named on the short list for practices who could design the restoration of the building which was destroyed in a disastrous fire last May.
The five-strong shortlist comprises Avanti Architects, John McAslan + Partners, LDN Architects LLP, PagePark Architects and Purcell, and their designs will all be examined in extreme detail as they resurrect Mackintosh's masterpiece.
Avanti is based in London, and its portfolio includes heritage work such as the project to bring back into use Alfred Waterhouse's 1887 Victoria Building at Liverpool University and the restoration of the Art Deco Midland Hotel in Morecambe.
Avanti is currently working with Scottish arts charity NVA on its St Peter's Seminary, Cardross project, which will transform the Grade A listed modern ruin into a cultural and education centre.
John McAslan is a Scottish architect, originally from Dunoon, and his company John McAslan + Partners is based in London, Manchester and Edinburgh.
It was involved in the restoration of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 78 Derngate in Northampton.
The practice also led the restoration of Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff's Grade I listed De La Warr Pavilion in East Sussex and the March en Fer in Haiti.
One of the McAslan's most recent projects is the development of London's King's Cross Station.
