Cope Linder Architects

Enduring, Useful, Beautiful

Cope Linder Architects believes that design should inspire people, affecting the senses beyond the visual. Since 1966, the Philadelphia-based design firm has created engaging spaces that enrich the relationship between people and places, always guided by the principle that great design must be enduring, useful and beautiful.

A dedicated, experienced staff of 50 professionals represents the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and master planning. The company designs a variety of building types including gaming, hospitality, corporate office, multi-family residential, retail, institutional and mixed-use.

Cope Linder employs a thorough understanding of complex building programs in all these sectors, utilizing best practices that create an enduring, useful and beautiful design for each engagement.

Every project is viewed as an opportunity to exceed the client’s expectations. This is accomplished through innovative design, the use of appropriate technology and a balanced sense of economic reality, while responding to the specific context of the site and program with environmentally sensitive solutions. 

Completed Cope Linder gaming projects include Borgata in Atlantic City, Caesars Atlantic City, Dover Downs Hotel & Slots in Delaware and Pompano Park Raceway in Pompano Beach, Florida. Gaming industry clients include Boyd Gaming, Harrah’s Entertainment, Centaur Gaming, HSP Gaming, IsleCorp, MGM/Mirage and Dover Downs, among others. Cope Linder has also successfully completed hotel projects representing Sheraton, Hampton Inn and Hilton flagged properties.

Current casino commissions include the expansion of Borgata, and its new “Water Club”, with JV partner BLTA, Valley View Downs in western Pennsylvania, SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia and others.

Cope Linder believes that appropriate design solutions will provide long-term value to its clients. As much of the firm’s work is accessible to the public on a daily basis, Cope Linder diligently works to create buildings, spaces and experiences that are timeless, inspiring, evocative and memorable.
