Let’s take a moment to introduce our newest Designer, Brett! Brett has a decade of architecture experience working in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Berlin. He’s worked on a wide range of scales and building types, from single-family houses and government headquarters to community centers and cemeteries. Brett also has a background in painting and sculpture as a studio artist. This experience has helped form his way of thinking related to making space, and he draws inspiration from other creative fields. Brett has worked on the design of several mass timber buildings, which are examples of sustainable design construction. Brett believes architecture plays an active part in the culture of healthy communities, which take pride in their buildings and spaces around them. Welcome Brett, its great to have you on the team ✨

Great to see the progress on the construction of the Sno-Isle Libraries Langley Library renovation we designed.

MSR Design in partnership with the Housing Authority of Salt Lake City and Xylem Projects has been awarded Salt Lake City's Northwest Pipeline Development. This project will be incredibly transformative and beneficial to the surrounding neighborhoods. Project goals are to renovate the 66-year-old former city public safety complex and construct two other high-rises — to be called the Hawthorne and the Lupine — for a total of 244 two and three-bedroom units, many of them suited for working families and available on a rent-to-own basis. During the proposal process, MSR Design and the developers created preliminary designs to illustrate the community transformation.
