Founded in 1975 by Donald Barker, Ronald Rinker and Russell Seacat, our firm has grown into a richly integrated design practice with projects throughout the United States and Europe. Born out of the movement of the sixties to be socially conscious, BRS focused on civic architecture from the beginning to give back to the community. In addition, the founders nurtured an exceptional firm culture to support our employees, clients and their projects alike. Roz. Perhaps one of the greatest stories representing our firm’s culture is that of Roz Schneider who became a partner in 1979. Roz is the first woman, non-architect and first Asian American woman to become a partner in an architecture firm in the state of Colorado. Roz was a part of it from the beginning and retired in 2010.
