Architect 50

I am delighted to report that TRO JungBrannen is listed among the top 50 firms in the country by Architect magazine in their inaugural survey, published in May. The rankings are based on a balanced assessment of profitability, commitment to sustainability, and caliber of design.

This approach to ranking design firms is a significant departure from that of most other industry publications which tend to look only at size, revenue, or market share. Architect magazine’s approach, I believe, is a more enlightened one and better reflects the overall quality of a design firm. Initially, nearly 750 firms were considered. Ultimately the top 50 list was compiled from data gathered through online surveys and editorial review.

While I have always maintained that financial well-being is fundamental to our growth and prosperity, it is particularly satisfying to see that our firm’s design ranking outpointed all but four of the top fifteen firms on the list. This is due in no small measure to the extraordinary quality of our work and to the dedication of our professional, marketing, and graphics personnel. Also, the exponential growth of our LEED accredited staff and the growing number of LEED certified projects in our portfolio assures that TRO JungBrannen will continue to climb up the list in the years to come.

To all of you in the firm who work so hard every day, and to the consultants who team with us, and to the clients who entrust their projects to our care…..thank you!
