Brad designs for the future. An industry leader in sustainable architecture, he is skilled at synthesizing diverse perspectives to craft technically rigorous, high performance solutions that are energy-efficient, budget-driven, and create exceptional occupant satisfaction.

Brad is leading the way in designing carbon neutral projects starting with today’s all-electric, Net Zero energy buildings. He spearheads mixed-use office developments, including the Net Zero Energy and LEED Platinum certified headquarters for The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, which was named a National American Institute of Architects Top Ten Green Building, to the Teaching & Learning Complex at UC Davis, a Net Zero-ready building set to form a new hub for student life.

Christopher’s architectural vision emphasizes a structural resolution and specific material language inserted into straightforward programmatic assemblies that explore a less precious approach to architecture and construction. His experiences with the rivers and forests of Idaho yield an architectural language that juxtaposes a degree of ruggedness with carefully considered details. The built results exude an energy that is often lacking in modern architecture. Christopher’s designs age gracefully within the environments they inhabit becoming more nuanced with time.

Practicing architecture for over twenty years, Christopher has executed projects that include schools, corporate headquarters, transportation facilities, higher education, parks, aviation, and private residences.
