A Legacy of Collaboration
Founded in 1963, BRR Architecture is a national architectural design firm whose vision is to elevate the everyday experience. Our firm began as a general architecture firm, managing commercial and multi-family projects across Kansas City. Over the years, the original founders began to specialize in grocery and retail projects, solidifying our services with numerous national and international retailers.
Today, BRR teammates collaborate with clients across multiple sectors, including retail, hospitality, industrial, mixed-use, multi-family and corporate environments.
You have a great bunch of young people who should be able to take the company to the stars and back.”
