In 2006, The Images Publishing Group invited us to be a part of their Neo-Architecture series that was dedicated to emerging young practices around the world. Since then we have authored or appeared in 5 additional books or monographs including 2014’s Tiltwallism and our most recent work Commodity and Virtue in Architecture. The continued interest in publishing our work show that we remain committed to designing Buildings that respond to place and the market; Environments that create community and value; and Projects that employ design to solve problems. #ArchitectureIS #Architecture #25thAnniversary #Books

About us
Powers Brown Architecture is a professional services firm practicing architecture, interior design, programming and urban design. The firm has built a reputation for specialized design and technical superiority, producing award-winning work and gaining recognition from local, regional, national and international organizations. Based upon these accolades and honors, Powers Brown Architecture is considered one of the most innovative and critically active firms on the scene. The firm has extensive experience working with private and public agencies. This experience makes Powers Brown Architecture uniquely qualified to meet its clients’ design and construction needs from the most simple to the most complex. Powers Brown Architecture believes that attention to the specificity of every project opportunity makes its practice unique. The benefit of this approach most often comes to the forefront when aesthetic possibilities conflict with the functional needs of the project. Powers Brown Architecture stresses the balance of function, aesthetics, construction technology, and budget in developing architectural solutions for its clients. Founded in September of 1999, the firm began inquiries into an area of practice it deemed neglected territory - project types, construction technologies and design business strategies ignored by both mainstream and vanguard architectural practice. The firm maintains a diverse architectural, interior design and urban design practice that includes regional, national, and international projects. Commissions have been undertaken for projects as diverse as tilt-wall industrial projects, Federal Government facilities, entertainment facilities to the planning of new towns in Cairo, Egypt and Lahore, Pakistan.

Congratulations to our Canada team for achieving LEED Gold status for our work on the Tapscott DC Prologis project in Scarborough, Canada! This proposed 214,160 SF industrial warehouse is an ideal last mile location within Toronto (Scarborough), with access to a strong labour pool and retail amenities nearby. The project is adjacent to transportation infrastructure, reducing emissions associated with getting to and from the site. Tapscott also prioritizes reducing local impacts through Regional Priority credits for optimizing energy performance and utilizing regional materials. #ArchitectureIS #Architecture #Industrial #LEED #LEEDGold #Award

From our first office expansion into the Mid-Atlantic region circa 2007, the lessons learned through our approach to often commoditized building types have been our guide as we expanded into new sectors such as corporate office buildings, multi-family, public and government. This same level of thoughtfulness has directed our choices when it comes entering new markets. With our expertise and expanding range of services, we have the ability to cover projects across North America from any of our seven offices. #ArchitectureIS #Architecture #Projects #25thAnniversary #Regional

Our Houston team won the Music/Song Lyric category at this years' AIA Houston Sandcastle Competition with our Jimmy Buffet themed “It’s Five O'clock Somewhere” sandcastle! A huge thank you to our partners that teamed up with us this year at Structure Tone Southwest, Pape-Dawson Engineers, Varmon Drywall, LLC. and Layton Construction for helping us build our sandcastle entry. Our design for this year consisted of a compass with a guitar in center (Changes in Latitudes Changes in Attitudes) with a tequila bottle, parrot, cheeseburger, and clock surrounding it. Shout out to Varmon Drywall, LLC. who did an amazing job building the forms which were just as impressive as the actual sandcastle. Thank you also to our sponsors CW Lighting, EF Contract, Lighting Associates, Inc., Crossville Studios, BRANCHPR, dormakaba, TC Barber Inc, and Shaw Contract. #ArchitectureIS #Architecture #AIAHouston #Sandcastle #Events
