"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.”
