"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.”

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. Within our teams, we 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.

In line with our client collaboration, is our belief in the interconnectedness of environmental graphics, branding, art, signage, and lighting in shaping the built environment. We are actively studying and visualizing the integration of these disciplines during the concept and schematic phases to build a cohesive vision for each project. While we provide design for these disciplines, we also proactively seek consultant partners in those specific areas when needed. 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 clients, and the users of our projects.

Our Design Process

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.
