Frederick, MD — Noelker and Hull Associates, Inc. is honored to announce that the firm has been voted #1 Architect in Frederick Magazine’s Best of Frederick 2026. Each year, the magazine invites its readers to recognize standout local businesses, professionals, and services across Frederick County. Voting closed on November 15, 2025, and the results reflect the voices of thousands of community members.
Nikki E Brooks, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP, Principal at Noelker and Hull, shared the team’s excitement, “Frederick is a community filled with talent, creativity, and a deep appreciation for thoughtful design, so to be recognized in this way means more than we can express. We feel incredibly grateful—grateful to the clients who trust us with their visions, the collaborators and builders who help bring ideas to life, and to a community that values the impact architecture can have on daily life.”
Located at 6 N East Street, Suite 300 in downtown Frederick, Noelker and Hull is proud to serve clients throughout Frederick County and beyond. Our firm provides comprehensive architectural services, from conceptual planning and master planning to full architectural design and interior design. With a structure that allows every client to work directly with the firm’s principals, Noelker and Hull maintains its long-held reputation for cultivating strong, lasting relationships and providing responsive, client-centered design solutions.
The Frederick office, formerly King, Asbury & Associates, joined Noelker and Hull in 2014 and continues to offer specialized expertise including facility programming, feasibility studies, estimating, facility evaluations, and environmentally conscious design approaches. Each project begins with a deep understanding of both the physical and social context, ensuring designs that reflect Frederick County’s character, landscape, and community values.
Brooks emphasizes that this recognition reflects more than just design excellence, “Awards like this aren’t just about the buildings; they’re about the people they serve. Knowing that our work has resonated with Frederick in a meaningful way is both humbling and energizing. This recognition inspires us to continue pushing for designs that blend beauty with purpose, sustainability with character, and innovation with the soul of Frederick. We’re excited for what comes next and honored to help shape the spaces where our community lives, works, and connects.”
Founded in 1957, Noelker and Hull has been recognized multiple times in Best of Frederick, including #1 in 2024 and #2 in 2025. As the firm celebrates, Brooks extends heartfelt appreciation to those who made it possible, “We want to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has supported our work—those who have trusted us with their projects, recommended us to a friend, or simply appreciated the role good design plays in our city. Frederick is a special place, filled with people who care deeply about craft, character, and community. Every project becomes a partnership, and every idea grows stronger through the collaboration and passion this community brings,” she adds, “We’re especially grateful for our clients, builders, engineers, artists, and local partners who help turn concepts into places people feel proud of.
