our practice
When you work with Bray, the first thing we’ll do is listen. Before we design, we get to know your needs, your goals, your budget, and your community.
From facility assessments to master planning, we’ll use conversation, data, and visioning to help you map out your needs.
Drawing on our depth of knowledge, we’ll engage our team’s creativity to create the best solution for your community and your budget.
We’ll look at who you are and how you’ll use your space to create a thoughtful and functional design that reflects your brand and community.
From stakeholder meetings to referendum campaigns, we’ll help to make sure your community is informed, engaged, and heard.
Everything we achieve, we do together. Our employee-owned firm is built on trust and driven to make connections. We’re looking for team members who want to stretch their creativity, grow their career, and serve as partners with our clients.
