Missy Brown has always had a passion for old houses and historic architecture. She began by sketching the spaces and homes she loved, a hobby shared by her great grandfather, a well known Boston architect. Missy received her Masters in Architecture from CU Denver in 2000 and started a career dedicated to residential design and remodeling historic homes.
Her career began in San Francisco where she designed and managed high end remodels that varied in size from a single bathroom or kitchen to multi-story additions. Whether it was a Victorian home from the 1880’s or a neo-Classical from the 1930’s, her designs were custom fit to the home, both striking and appropriate in every case. Missy’s strength lies in her ability to respect the old while seeing new potential for existing spaces. She believes that new architecture, when applied to historic settings, needs to preserve and enhance the charm and character of the old.
