Not just a name, but a promise.
Rich Brienik, AIA, LEED AP
Architect / Senior Associate
Rich Brienik joined The Collaborative in 2016 and offers a unique ‘inside-out’ approach to project design. Informed by his dual Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Architecture and Interior Architecture, as well as his 15-year career, Rich has developed a philosophy on the principle that form should follow function. This innovative approach, combined with his ability to incorporate sophisticated construction methods, ensures a building’s aesthetic reflects each client’s needs while maximizing user comfort and overall building life. Rich plays a vital role in carrying projects from design to construction. He works closely with designers, engineers and contractors, leveraging his extensive knowledge of the entire design process to ensure the successful realization of each project.
