What Bradfield, Richards, Rhodes & Associates Architects does

Bradfield, Richards, Rhodes & Associates Architects, Inc. (BRRA) is a privately held, full-service architectural design firm founded in 1973 by Richard H. Bradfield in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm provides user-sensitive architectural design services for both public and private facilities across the Southeastern United States, with a portfolio spanning religious/faith facilities, higher education, K-12 and child care, public housing, historic preservation, commercial, multi-family residential, resort, recreational, and philanthropic projects. Core services include schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration, delivered using standard architectural tools and methodologies.

BRRA operates on a project-based professional services fee model, with pricing quoted per engagement based on scope and complexity (no public pricing disclosure). The firm pursues a sales-led go-to-market motion, engaging directly with institutional clients — religious organizations, educational institutions, government housing authorities, and commercial developers — via its professional portfolio website, social media presence, and repeat-client relationships rather than through intermediaries. The firm maintains a single office in Atlanta (7000 Central Parkway, Suite 990) and operates with 1-10 employees under principals Greg Richards, AIA (35-year tenure) and Tom Rhodes, AIA (39-year tenure), with no private equity, venture capital, or parent company involvement. Recognition includes a Presidential Award for Design Excellence, AIA Honor Awards, and multiple NAHRO national awards for housing design spanning 1984-2016.

Broad incumbents

• EwingCole: Multi-disciplinary design firm with established practice in education, government, and civic architecture. Comparable portfolio diversity and institutional client base, though at materially larger scale than BRRA.
• Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB): Large architecture and interior design firm with portfolios across higher education, residential, and commercial sectors. Operates at larger scale but competes for institutional clients and adaptive reuse projects in adjacent markets.
• Perkins&Will: Major global architecture firm with a strong Atlanta presence and broad institutional, higher education, and healthcare expertise. Competes for larger-scale institutional projects in the same geographic market as BRRA.
• HKS: Large global architecture firm with deep religious, education, and healthcare portfolios. While much larger, HKS competes for similar institutional clients and would be a logical acquirer or talent-poaching source for BRRA's Southeast relationships.

Regional players

• tvsdesign: Atlanta-headquartered architecture firm with a broader mixed-use, hospitality, and civic portfolio. Comparable geographic base but operates at significantly larger scale; competes for institutional and commercial work in the same Atlanta metro market.

Direct peers

• Legat Architects: Mid-sized architecture firm with comparable practice profile focused on education, civic, and religious clients. Similar size and delivery model make Legat a direct peer for project and talent competition in the institutional segment.
• Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio: Atlanta-based architecture firm of comparable size with strong portfolios in religious, educational, and civic facility design. Highly comparable niche focus and geographic footprint make this a direct peer for institutional and faith-based project competition.
• Pieper O'Brien Herr Architects: Mid-sized architecture firm specializing in faith-based facility design nationally. Overlaps directly with BRRA's religious vertical and competes for similar church and ministry clients across multiple phases of campus expansion.
