Firm Description

Bruner/Cott Architects is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life, economic vigor, and sense of community through thoughtful, sustainable design. Our solutions derive from a creative interpretation of place, culture, program, and responsibility to our planet. We see architecture as a site-specific art rather than an imposed style, thoughtfully considering each project within the context of its mission and community. As pioneers in adaptive reuse, we recognize the character and value of an existing structure and understand that sustainable design extends beyond the boundaries of a single building. Whether new construction, adaptive reuse, historic preservation, or a large-scale planning project, we make buildings that communicate with their surroundings—each with its own identity in response to program, time, and place. Serving cultural, educational, and commercial clients nationwide, our design philosophy is inclusive and collaborative. Project success is supported by clear client communications, through which function and form meet to create buildings that are beautiful, sustainably built, and integrated with their surroundings.
