In 1996, Jay Schwarz, Scarlett Breeding and John Alt merged their firms and opened their Annapolis architectural practice, Alt Breeding Schwarz (ABS), with the goal of providing a new level of distinctive residential and commercial design services in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Since their opening, ABS has completed billions of dollars in new construction and adaptive re-use projects which have received many design, construction and preservation awards in addition to much published recognition. Each project is assigned to a team from a collected staff of talented architects and designers with the unique set of skills to match the house or building type. In collaboration with the client, they develop and produce a diverse range of design solutions as well as offering comprehensive project services.

After a notably successful 20+ years of working together as ABS, principals Scarlett Breeding and John Alt decided to transition out of the firm. In 2020 they moved to their country home in the Southwest USA. Their extraordinary contribution to ABS is greatly appreciated.

Jay Schwarz is now the Managing Principal of ABS and will continue to provide the primary lead on residential and commercial/institutional work as well as the burgeoning sustainable green design movement. Senior Associates Angela Phelan, AIA, Bill Williams, RA and Sarah Favrao provide the additional design expertise and management skill set to maintain and expand ABS's award winning portfolio. With their client partners, ABS creates beautiful work; everything from exquisitely detailed elegant homes and waterfront estates, to successful commercial developments and green design.

A dynamic blend of talent and teamwork continues to drive Alt Breeding Schwarz to garner the respect and the recognition afforded the highest level of architectural design in the mid-Atlantic region - as well as meeting and surpassing client expectations.
