Year In Review: 2025 Reflections

As 2025 comes to a close, we at BRP Architects are taking a moment to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude for the year behind us. This past year has been shaped by inspiring projects, trusted clients, and a dedicated team whose creativity and commitment continue to drive our work forward. From early concepts to completed spaces, each collaboration has reinforced why we love what we do and who we do it with.

The most memorable moments of 2025 at BRP Architects are best captured through the voices of our partners, each reflecting on milestones that shaped the year. Chris shared that one standout accomplishment was “the opening of the Eastern Shawnee Tribal Administration Building,” noting how meaningful the project was because it “so deeply expresses the values, culture, and identity of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe.” George reflected on the firm’s internal progress, highlighting how BRP “embraced new software platforms that significantly improved our project management, coordination, and overall efficiency,” and ending the year with “strong financial performance,” a testament to the firm’s resilience.

Ben emphasized the importance of relationships and growth, sharing pride in “the expansive body of work we have completed for our longstanding clients,” as well as efforts to strengthen the firm internally through new tools and a focus on “holistic growth and experiences within the firm.” Gerri echoed the value of relationships, noting that while BRP was “blessed to continue working with strong clients,” 2025 also brought exciting opportunities through new client relationships. She described these new relationships as “a strong testament to the good quality of work our BRP team produces throughout the year.” Together, these reflections capture a year defined by meaningful projects, trusted partnerships, and continued growth.
