Browne McGregor Architects

What Browne McGregor Architects does

Browne McGregor Architects is a Houston, Texas-based architectural firm founded in 1995 that provides full-service architectural and interior design for technically complex projects in the healthcare, science/technology, commercial, and hospitality sectors. The firm's core offerings are organized around Medical Office Buildings, Healthcare Architecture (including hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, cath labs, diagnostic imaging, and cancer therapy facilities), Commercial Office Architecture, and Science + Technology Facilities, supported by Master Planning, Tenant Improvements, Interior Design, Parking Structures, Restaurant Architecture, and a specialty Veterinary Facilities practice. Its portfolio includes the first privately owned LEED-certified healthcare facility in Texas (Pearland Pediatrics, 2006) and recurring work for major regional institutions such as Memorial Hermann Health System, CHI St. Luke's Health, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Harris Health System.

The firm operates as a single unified practice rather than a platform-plus-modules company, with no proprietary software, patents, or disclosed technology products. Project work spans ground-up campuses (e.g., the 105,000 s.f. Modern Heart and Vascular MOB, the 100,000 s.f. LEED Certified Chi St. Luke's Medical Arts Center III), multi-building master plans (Pisula Development's Chi St. Luke's campus, CMK Properties' Woodforest Medical Plaza, the 2,000,000 s.f. UT Research Park), small-scale tenant improvements, and restaurant/hospitality builds for repeat clients such as Goode Company Restaurants.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis through fixed fees or hourly billing for architectural and engineering professional services across healthcare, commercial, retail, restaurant, and science/technology engagements. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct business development, client referrals, repeat engagements with major healthcare systems, and a portfolio website rather than paid advertising or public pricing. Marketing is limited to organic channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, website portfolio, Constant Contact newsletter), consistent with a privately held, founder-controlled professional services firm with 11-50 employees.
