Our Story
At BR Design and Architecture, we started our partnership over 20 years ago in 2001 and have over 50 years of combined experience in the field of Architecture and Design. We can help with any project big or small and can take your project from schematic design through final construction phasing. From that home addition you've always dreamed of, to a new 30,000 square foot office build-out.
We specialize in commercial design, residential design, industrial design, and site planning. We always like to talk to our potential customers on the project site. It's important to not only discuss the project, but to go on location and see what the client sees. Many times we not only find another option, but often save our clients money by thinking outside the box or providing alternative options along with honest advice.
Over the decades, we've maintained our core philosophy: architecture should be functional, beautiful, and sustainable. Every project we undertake reflects our dedication to these principles. We believe that great design emerges from understanding our clients' needs, respecting the environment, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Whether the client is a first-time home owner looking for an addition or one of our years-long existing business partners, we always stay committed to our values: excellence, collaboration, innovation, and integrity.

"We loved working with Brian. He did a wonderful job on our floor plans, and he was very easy to work with. Would highly recommend him, and would use him again in the future."
"We found Brian on Thumbtack after a disappointing experience with another architect. We were on a tight schedule to prepare architectural plans, but Brian met with us on Saturday and finished the work within two weeks. Not only did he deliver high-quality work, but our general contractor also praised his craftsmanship.."
"We are pleased with their services and be happy to refer Brian in from BR Design & Architecture to our friends and colleagues. He personally worked on two sets on plans for us and quite pleasantly accommodated our request for changes."
"I had a fantastic experience with Ross and Brian. Extremely professional. I highly recommend."
"Brian was very helpful and informative on what my City would require for permits. His price was extremely competitive, from the my other quotes obtained, and I would recommend his services to anyone looking for an architect."
"Brian did an awesome job on my plans. He is very knowledgeable, detailed, and timely. I am very satisfied and highly recommends his services."
"I would highly recommend BR Design & Architecture! Brian was extremely helpful in helping me figure out what I wanted in my home project. He definitely took the time to tailor each detail to our liking. I would without a doubt recommend Brian to anyone in need of a professional architect."
"Brian was excellent to work with. My husband and I were a bit undecided with certain design details. Brian helped us realize our aesthetic. He was sensitive to our budget. He was careful not to impose costly details that later break the bank. He was responsive and highly professional! We will definitely reach out for future projects."
