Brian joined Kraemer Design Group in the spring of 2006 after a series of diverse experiences spanning architecture, construction, and community service. He graduated from the University of Michigan’s College of Architecture and Urban Planning in 1998, and continued his experience in Montreal, Vermont, Italy, and the Northwoods of Ontario. After completing his Master of Architecture degree in 2002, Brian embarked on his most formative experience: building homes for three years as an AmeriCorps member and House Leader with Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity. At Habitat, Brian saw firsthand the ways in which buildings, even the simplest of ones, can change people and places in significant ways. As Principal at KDG, Brian has an eye for detail and an endless capacity for knowledge. These qualities have led him to be a specialist in some critical disciplines within the firm. Brian is the team leader for product selection and specification writing, and maintains membership in the Construction Specifications Institute, giving him access to the latest research in building materials and construction technology. He is also a 36CFR Part 61 Qualified Historic Architect, and has extensive experience, as both designer and consultant, on numerous historic adaptive re-use projects both in Detroit and throughout the region. This passion for historic preservation is a natural fit as Brian works to revitalize his hometown of Detroit. He is fully committed to life in the city, and currently lives in a 100 year old home in Detroit’s historic Indian Village. Brian is proud to serve his hometown both personally and professionally, and is inspired by the challenges of working in such a dynamic and energetic place.
