Our Approach

BRAY is a tight-knit collective of highly skilled architects and interior designers. Our clients benefit from direct access to company partners, ensuring streamlined communication throughout the life of each project. The active involvement of seasoned leadership boosts creativity and efficiency, as we lean on decades of problem-solving to provide smart, intentional solutions to real-world challenges.

Most importantly, the intimate scale of our studio empowers us to provide a highly collaborative client experience. We pride ourselves on building relationships that last well beyond our first engagement, rooted in honesty, transparency and the enduring integrity of our work. Building on our client’s vision, we bring a broader contextual perspective to all projects, ensuring that each concept creates lasting value for the surrounding community.

A relationship-driven approach.

Our portfolio has been driven by repeat client relationships, which we consider to be the ultimate measure of success. We build that trust by treating clients and contractors as true partners, prioritizing honest communication and proactively raising concerns—all while pursuing ambitious, innovative design concepts.

A right-sized studio.

Our lean team structure ensures that each project draws from the full breadth of our experience. Working directly with clients from concept to completion, our leadership team leverages both creative and technical expertise to assess the broader state of the market, challenge conventional thinking and deliver exceptional value.

A time-tested process.

Thanks to our 30+ years of hands-on experience, we have already seen—and solved—the majority of issues that hinder projects’ progress. By asking the right questions, focusing on the finer details and methodically reviewing the plans of all project contractors, we can anticipate costly curveballs before they get thrown our way. 

A proven hospitality partner.

While our experience stretches well beyond the restaurant industry, the depth of our work in hospitality allows us to speak the same language as chefs and restaurateurs. We seamlessly bridge creative and practical concerns, whether crafting front-of-house spaces or orchestrating all aspects of back-of-house systems and operations.
