Thomas Celli, AIA | 1944-2022

Over the course of his life and career, Tom worked to become an internationally recognized architect and master planner. He took over the architectural firm Celli-Flynn Architects, which was co-founded by his father, and committed himself to extending the firm’s legacy for lasting design.

Tom specialized in planning and design for educational, religious and governmental institutions for 40 years. Religious institutions and historic cathedrals – such as St. Paul’s Cathedral in Pittsburgh, and St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Wheeling – stand as examples of his restoration abilities.

Luke and his uncle John were co-founders of the architecture firm now known as Desmone and managed by his son, Chip. He was a prolific architect beginning with his first residential project on Spring House Lane in Fox Chapel. Nearly 4000 projects later, Luke has designs in the permanent collection of the Heinz Architectural Center. “Love every line you draw” was a favorite saying.

Among his favorite projects and clients were the Forbes Trail Technical School, the David Johnson Chapel at Thiel College and St. John’s St. Paul’s Church, and more recently a private residence for longtime friends, the McCradys.
