  Since 1985, BR Design Associates has remained faithful to a single core belief: there is nothing more important in the design process than listening carefully to our clients. We believe that listening first to last is what fundamentally distinguishes our firm. On the foundation of this "open ears" policy, we balance the highest standards of design and client services with sound business practices, resulting in facility, planning, and corporate interior designs that consistently work; design that delivers both aesthetic impact and enhanced operational efficiencies.BR Design has developed a client base including Fortune 500 companies, not-for-profit organizations and privately owned businesses. We are members of the US Green Building Council and strongly believe in the long term impact that sustainable design and socially responsible building practices will have on the environment. More than 85% of our corporate design projects are based upon repeat business from our satisfied clients.
