About Powers Brown Architecture:

Powers Brown Architecture operates as a 21st century architectural practice. Much like our clients do.

We harness the energy that comes from merging the power of technology with a commitment to the idea that  Architecture is not just for special occasions.  We treat every project with the exact same care and intensity.

The result is an award-winning practice that is comfortable with the conversation between  architecture as both content and commodity.  Cross-pollination between client types and project types most only “specialize” in.

The firm is  as committed to our developer clients’ needs and influences as we are to the Institutions, Corporations and Governments for whom we have delivered award-winning buildings.  Over 102 awards ranging from Urban Design to office buildings to firm management.

We thrive at the intersection that  Design, Creativity and Innovation are possible both on an industrial warehouse and on a student center on a university campus.  There is always an optimal opportunity, a budget and people who live with the project long after we are finished.

We are Researchers, Educators, Authors and Community Leaders.  We publish, collaborate, comment and distribute because architecture is “open source”.

Our offices are located across North America serving the world.
