Bruns Architecture

The studio

We are a small group of passionate and dedicated architects. The firm was founded in 2008 by Stephen Bruns with the simple goal of designing and building well. We believe that through careful listening, rigorous study, strong relationships, and innovative thinking we can improve our spatial surroundings by delivering thoughtful, lasting architecture.

We believe that every project deserves unique attention. We enjoy developing relationships with our clients, learning who they are and how they live and work, and comprehending their needs, aspirations and dreams. Through this process of discovery we help distill the essence of the project. The resulting vision becomes an invaluable tool that cultivates the design and construction process. We believe that our holistic approach is what sets us apart.

Specializing in highly crafted residential and commercial design, we offer a full range of architectural and design services from initial concept and planning through final detailing, construction administration and furniture design.

The experience of the end-user is our focus. Our comprehensive approach begins with specific research to understand the influences of a project. Through careful composition, selective materiality, strong connection to the site, and in specific response to program and budget, we offer a consistent vision and the value of good design.

One of our primary core values is sustainability. Whether your goals are to have a LEED certified project, or simply to reduce your operating expenses through more efficient and technologically advanced building systems, our experience can help you achieve your objective.
