Brian P. Edmison, NCARB Principal

I grew up in the construction industry going to work with my father at the age of nine in a retail lumberyard.   My father was also a commercial contractor and went to great lengths to teach me the trade.  What he taught me was a very strong work ethic and a never give up problem solving skills.   The choice of Architecture as a professional was simple.   No matter what the conditions of the scope or budget I will find a solution for the project. 

Firm History

​The office opened in 2004 located in the Jefferson State Bank Building in Mt. Vernon Illinois.   The firms original practice area was limited to Southern and Central Illinois.  It has since expanded to include projects completed in Washington State, North Dakota, Kentucky, Texas, Michigan, Tennessee, and Indiana.  I hold a NCARB certificate thus licensure in most jurisdictions  is obtainable.     Projects have ranged from simple residential projects to Large Scale Manufacturing facilities.

The Built Environment is our legacy left for future generations.  It is my purpose to express this legacy through sustainable design.   

​​Preserving the visual part of our past has been a passion throughout my practice.   Historic buildings hold a rich history about both the people who built them and those who's lives they touched.   This history must be preserved.
