After starting his career as a draftsman, Brien graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from UTS Sydney in 1997 and has been working in the industry for over 30 years. Early in his career, he gained invaluable experience across multiple sectors including corporate interiors, multi-residential development, hospitality and residential projects.

After becoming a registered architect, he became a director of Castlepeake. For nearly 20 years, he was involved in the design and documentation of high-end residential dwellings from concept through to handover. During this time, he helped design and build his rammed earth weekender at Seal Rocks, which won one of HIA's NSW Regional House of the Year awards in 2009.

Brien brings a wealth of technical experience and as BMA's Delivery Director, is responsible for ensuring our skilled team carries through the design intent in a timely manner with detailed, high quality documentation.

He is motivated to mentor and develop the skillset of our team of architects and interior designers which in turn will uphold BMA's philosophy of architecture being about simple things executed beautifully.
