A bit about Aspire
Aspire is led by licensed architect, Brian Burkett. With over 25 years of home design experience, Aspire Architecture has the knowledge for your home type, project scale, and specific property.
Brian has had the opportunity to work across many different types of firms in the design and construction industry. From design-build firms to product manufacturers to architect-led firms, these experiences have given him a comprehensive understanding of how homes come together and how to shape a successful project, specifically in the residential building industry. Over the years, he's partnered with homeowners, contractors, and consultants to craft hundreds of projects, each as unique as the people for whom they were were designed.
In addition to being a Licensed Architect, He's also focused on several areas of expertise, particularly in sustainability and energy efficiency, having gained credentials in a number of different specialties:
Brian is also a part of the following organizations in the architecture and building community:
-
Member of the AIA (American Institute of Architects)
-
Member of the ALA (Association of Licensed Architects)
-
Member of BRAG (Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Ann Arbor)
-
Member of NAHB (National Association of Home Builders)
-
Licensed through NCARB (National Council of Architectural Registration Boards)
Even with the accreditations, Brian firmly believe that there is no experience like what life teaches you. There is no substitute for life experience. A big part of what has made him a better architect comes from owning his own home, raising a family, cooking meals, cleaning, having pets, traveling, and all of the ways he has experienced life. Those ideas keep him grounded and continue to teach him to be a better designer.
