Intelligent design is achieved by understanding what you have to work with - the raw space or site, the systems and materials, and the client's vision and budget - and optimizing the project within those parameters.
About
Holly Williams Brittain Architect has a broad range of experience in complex, design-led projects from feasibility through construction phases. As a seasoned real estate developer and broker, Holly recognizes unique opportunities, realizes the highest and best use for buildings/sites and identifies the most sustainable and profitable investment strategies.
Brittain is a registered architect in New York and Connecticut and is NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards) Certified.
We at Holly Williams Brittain Architect believe architecture should be functional, efficient and delightful to experience every day. We find joy in creating cozy nooks and graceful connections and celebrate the in-between spaces as much as the grand. We look for opportunities to increase natural light and fresh air and connect buildings to nature and neighborhood. We strive to reduce operational costs by employing energy efficient systems and durable materials. We think it is crucial to consider ways to maximize space and storage and reduce clutter. Our preferred aesthetic is bright and clean, featuring natural materials and a Scandinavian inspired warmth. Whether a new building or a historic restoration, we mine the existing context - the house, site, landscape - for inspiration, character and design direction.
