I know it's not a firm, but Dwell magazine has a very nicely designed site that "feels" very architectural. I would recommend checking it out:
also check out LA based Morphosis:

Thanks everybody. I though I would hit the community at large and see if I was just looking in the wrong places.
I guess what I was feeling was a sense of amazement. Architecture Firms... You would think there would be some really cutting edge sites out there. Dynamic, clean sophisticated contemporary. Sites WITHOUT flash perhaps. I have only found 1 or 2 that kind of hit the mark.The point being, Of course I could show the client in an impromptu meeting, hundreds of well designed sites. The problem is that none of them are in her industry. Now I am concerned that she will look within her own industry, and think to herself. Wow, my site is actually better than most of my competition, maybe I don’t need a redesign... You see none of my clients are web designers. They don’t really care if nike, or coke, or apple has a nice site. They care if their competition has a better site. It is all about keeping up with the jones’s. Of course I could pull the whole be a trend setter discussion...
Btw. Hi back bonseff, how are you doing?

This might help too.
http://www.archinect.com/We're in the same spot. We're looking to do a nice html/css site for a progressive arch firm right now. The examples that are out there are pretty bad.

consider yourselves lucky there is nothing to seek inspiration from and make something to fill the void you feel is there

hehe thanks guys. I told you, it is quite a challenge. I do like the feel of dwell.

I am not looking for inspiration.. I am looking for example to show a potential client, without having to offer up designs of our own for free.
- version30
ah edison's theory, "i'll make it like theirs but for you" :)
weird, i've never shown a client someone else's work, they usually show me what they have in mind and i comp from there on a paid basis, but never someone else's effort as a pre-comp offered up by myself.

v.5 Your obviously still confused about what we are seeking. The client asked to see examples of what we were talking about.. tight css design, etc.. yada yada. As it pertained specifically to her industry. we said we would see if we could find some examples. We have been unable to find a decent architects site. We were amazed that we could not find a decent site, and decided to see if any of you could. Get off your high horse already.
