"I have had the pleasure of working with O’Brien Architects on several projects. I cannot say enough about how open and collaborative their approach is when dealing with an owner. The last project we partnered on was with a very challenging foreign owner who wanted us to design build their North America Headquarters Building. O’Brien Architects was always professional and patient in the countless design meetings we attended. They worked like champions to the very end of the project and were our partners every step of the way. O’Brien’s design produced one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever helped to construct.”

"Provident General Contractors has worked alongside O’Brien Architects in successfully completing nearly $500 million dollars in projects over the past 6 years. We firmly believe there is immeasurable value added when familiar teams work together, the greatest of which is speed to market. It is difficult to quantify the worth in dollars, but our experience is that Owners directly benefit from operational efficiencies and fewer change orders throughout the course of construction. O’Brien Architects is a highly capable, professional firm. Sean and his team approach each project with a “can do” attitude and a collaborative demeanor to ensure a successful delivery for the client.”

No Solo Artists: Embracing Collective Expertise
Every role is vital in the making a project come to life, and “no solo artist” is responsible for the end result. We believe in the power of collective expertise, where diverse talents and perspectives leads to innovation and success. Our teams cultivate a culture where egos are left at the door, and every voice is valued and heard. By fostering an environment where suggestions are welcomed, and varied perspectives are sought, we enrich our projects.
Through client collaboration, we connect environmental graphics, branding, art, signage, and lighting to shape the built environment. We actively study and visualize the integration of these disciplines during the concept and schematic phases to build a cohesive vision for each project.
Whether it be to execute a design or take on the role as lead, we see the approach as fundamental to the success of our client’s projects.

development, we focus on collaborating
Our team works closely with the client and oversee a project from beginning to end. The initial stages, including programming and test fits, are vital in addressing client needs and expectations.

Through schematic design and design development, we focus on collaborating through visualization sessions to assist clients in envisioning their future space. We want to create a space that is not only functional, but also one that empowers the client’s vision and purpose through design elements. From there, pricing documents and construction drawings packages are delivered to the construction team, ensuring the build out will come to fruition. Then, by seeing out construction administration, we are able to help ensure that projects come to life with every detail.
