One of life's greatest joys is the opportunity to indulge our imaginations and create spaces that harmonize with our unique lifestyles. Bradley Design adheres to a guiding philosophy of responsiveness, embracing a low-ego, team-oriented approach to design while exploring how clients will live in their home.
Listening carefully, engaging actively, and responding thoughtfully are of vital importance while striving to get to the client's goals. The preliminary design process inherently requires a collaborative effort when translating diverse perspectives into a cohesive plan. Creative design begins with freeing ideas from the rigid structure, allowing concepts to flow freely. As form follows function, a sound design demands skillful assembly of those concepts into a refined, buildable set of working drawings with structural solutions found.
Ideally, everyone should be destined to live in a home expertly designed with their involvement, tailored to their own way of life. Each client deserves an enriching and enjoyable personal experience, confidently guided through the design process.

Bio
Design Philosophy
Although the emphasis at Bradley Design is architectural design, Brad can carry out various duties as called for. Services provided can be shaped to the clients need by consulting on an hourly basis. If a builder has not been selected, Brad will be a reliable guide through the planning stages up to the building permit. That said though, the most effective approach to planning a custom home is through a design/build arrangement where a reputable builder is selected to join the team early in the planning process. A capable builder's constant feedback during this process will help keep the project on track regarding costs and other expectations. Brad will gladly and readily refer highly qualified builders who have teamed up well with past clients of Bradley Design.
With more than forty years of experience in residential and commercial construction, Brad has honed his skills in home building. His journey began as a hardworking carpenter on framing crews during his college summer breaks. In 1981, he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management from Colorado State University. Following his graduation, Brad worked with commercial contractors and home builders in both office and field settings. Experience in estimating, job costing, and field supervision equipped him with valuable tools that he still employs today. Additionally, his work in a building supplier's truss department allowed him to gain expertise in trussed roof systems. This knowledge, combined with his college training in structural engineering, enables him to design in-house framework layouts and conduct analysis of the structural framework for his projects. Brad's multifaceted skill set not only distinguishes him in custom home design and planning, but also ensures that his construction documents deliver exceptional and practical results during the construction process.
