Kevin O'Brien,
Principal

Kevin believes the job of an architect isn’t constrained to a structure. He understands that architecture, urban design, master planning and interior interventions are inextricably connected to the land on which it is sited, and the necessity to explore and honour that connection. Even though Kevin has been a passionate leader of BVN’s Designing with Country strategy, he urges every architect to learn the tools to lead this approach. He values the opportunity to lead large, collaborative, multidisciplinary teams for the opportunity they present to extend beyond what was thought possible. Kevin is a warm source of leadership, guidance and counsel to his project teams, and he encourages others to upskill and take ownership. According to Kevin, only by sharing the knowledge that we possess as individuals can we grow as a practice, as an industry, and as a society.
