Starting out as a partnership then incorporating into a mid-sized Architectural/Engineering Firm during the 70's eventually led to an intentional downsizing back to a smaller Architecture only practice by the mid 80's. The 90's brought diversity of design with master planning for continuing care retirement communities and all of its components, as well as residential housing of all types and smaller commercial projects including many expansion/renovations.

Throughout its evolution, Brown Calabretta Architects has carved out its niche in long term healthcare and housing projects of all sizes. Non-profit and repeat clients dominate our portfolio. Aging demographics bode well for the future of our particular expertise.
