BRW culture.

Our values +
why it matters

Honest partnership

Every relationship we build rests on a foundation of trust, respect, collaboration, and financial integrity. With BRW, you can count on thoughtful, inspiring design solutions and professional leadership.

A commitment to excellence in craft

We approach each project with an intense, innovative spirit while drawing on over 40 years of experience in design that nurtures a sense of ownership and pride in the community served.

Lifelong learning and mentorship

We bring together specialized teams that pair experts in the field, project leads, planners, and emerging young architects-in-training. We cultivate dynamic, diverse working teams invested in accomplishing client objectives and lifting careers.

Optimistic, forward-thinking design

Our aim is to create buildings and spaces that express hope, inspire awe, and honor reliability in shared work, learning, and service.

Community Minded

We believe in fostering culture and community through buildings and spaces we all spend time in. Our firm is built on taking projects and working with people who focus on uplifting quality of life.

Passionate Thinkers

We’re a collective of design professionals who believe in constantly feeding a robust spirit of curiosity, careful listening, thoughtful reflection, and innovation through connection. We believe in constantly evaluating, questioning, and discovering to build our foundation of solid expertise.

Our people + why it matters.

Together, we are innovators, designers, collaborators, lifelong learners, and colleagues dedicated to a workplace where we invest in one another.

At BRW, people are the heart of our firm. Focusing on cultivating an environment where creativity and ideas thrive and careers grow is what matters.

MEET OUR TEAM

Team building.

Each person on the BRW team has the potential to shine bright. We’re committed to growing new leaders, cultivating a keen eye for business, and sharpening creative problem-solving skills. We’re invested in building up colleagues through dedicated interdepartmental communication and partnerships, continuing education, joint presentations, design challenges, and more.

The in-between moments count. See how our team unplugs and takes time to play.

The parts of your brain responsible for creativity are most active when you are connecting with others, riffing ideas, and taking time to play. The eureka moments seem to jump to life when the mind is at rest. We understand dedicated focus on completing tasks is only part of professional life—we embrace the fun and comradery, too.

Unplug. Recharge. Connect.

Celebrating You.

We mark the moments. It’s the big and small wins that make for a fulfilling career. We are proud of what our team has accomplished and fix an eye on what will certainly come. Celebrating You Day showcases the projects and initiatives that reflect successes through our team’s eyes.

Community + why it matters.

Serving together strengthens our ties to our communities, and to each other. Our firm is built on deeply rooted relationships, outreach to new partners, and a heart for service. As citizens of our local neighborhoods, we’re part of something bigger.

Every year, we commit to hands-on volunteer work: we collect food for local food banks, clean up and beautify our neighborhoods, foster pets into new homes, lead fundraisers, and rehabilitate homes in our neighborhoods to name a few activities. BRW supports local and national organizations—such as the North Texas Food Bank, Hearts & Hammers, SPCA, and American Heart Association and we are always on the lookout for even more ways to put our hands and hearts to work for our communities.

Join our team.

We’re searching for bright, curious people who bring a passion for design, diverse perspective, and an eye for ingenuity born out of connection. If you’ve recently graduated or are a seasoned professional and believe deeply in the power of design to uplift communities, we’re looking for colleagues to join us in building a better tomorrow.

Grow with us. We invite you to apply.

SEE OUR OPENINGS

Our History.

Today, the vision remains clear–forge lasting, honest partnerships, draw on expertise while keeping a finger on the pulse of change and innovation, and always invest in one another. BRW continues to grow serving clients from four locations. Today we are 150+ strong. We invite you to join us in ushering in our tomorrow.

In 1984, three young architects embarked on a journey. From the early days of working out of a spare bedroom and holding meetings by a furnace in the hallway, the north star has always been: provide better service and create and build exceptional architecture that reflects the values of our clients.

Do good work, take care of the client, take care of each other—focused on what matters.
