Brian MArquette, aia

Back in middle school, after completing an elevation assignment in a drafting class, Brian knew he wanted to become an architect. His next job? Drawing the addition for his parents’ house to secure a building permit. His clients are no longer a teacher or his dad, but Brian’s clients remain his top priority. “I approach every project and its challenges with the goal of meeting the client’s vision, goals and budget in a creative, effective and efficient manner,” Brian says.

As he leads teams of architects, contractors and consultants in the design and construction of hospitality projects, Brian balances design intent, budget, schedules and documents with constructability. Approachable and responsive, Brian creatively solves issues so that clients know they’re able to build the project they envision. He enjoys the adventure of a complex project with multiple players on the design and construction teams. “I take pride in delivering buildings within budget with efficiency and reliability,” he says.
