Architecture

ImageSince 1994, Brian Majeski has designed and managed projects large and small, commercial and residential, in various parts of the country.  During the first six years of professional practice, Brian worked in Chicago, Illinois for commercial and institutional firms, such as Teng & Associates. During this period, he worked on a variety of projects including several large office buildings, Western Michigan University football stadium, four public libraries, a Northwestern University interior renovation, and several projects for the United States Postal Service.  

 ImageMoving to Steamboat Springs in 2001, Brian was a project architect for a local architecture firm for three years.  The majority of this experience focused on large custom residential projects and a few local commercial projects.  The residential projects included a 10,000sf home in the Catamount Ranch of Steamboat Springs, a 6000sf hilltop residence in Mill Valley, California, and designed a home in Silverthorne, Colorado to repel any probable forest fire using siting techniques and Firewise design criteria.

ImageIn August of 2004, Brian formed U/R Design, Inc. with projects currently located in Steamboat Springs, Boulder, and Durango, Colorado.   Recently completed projects include the Off the Beaten Path Bookstore and the new Steamboat Springs Edward Jones office, and provided architectural consulting on the 33,000 sf mixed use building, "The Victoria". Current projects include two work/live buildings, a home in Louisville, Kentucky, and various addition/remodel projects.

Brian is currently an Associate of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and is also serving on the Technical Advisory Committee for the Steamboat Springs Green Building Program.

 

 Construction

ImageWhile living in Chicago, Brian spent three years with The Walsh Group, one of the largest commercial development and construction companies in the country.  He held positions in on-site project management, estimating, hard-bidding, scheduling, and design/build project design and procurement.  This experience was invaluable while providing a platform to see first hand how design and construction should be integrated in order to maximize design within a concrete budget.  Projects included One North Halsted “Skybridge” in Chicago, a Cellular One office building in Harrisburg, Pa, and the Museum Forecourt of the Lakeshore Drive Improvement Project in Chicago.

"Brian Majeski worked with my taste and suggested great ideas to maximize light and space without an overblown price tag.  He worked with my G.C. to get the project to permit, and the end result was an affordable project without compromising on quality.  Brian was enthusiastic about the project and really worked to make me a satisfied customer very happy with the end result.  Brian also stayed within his estimate which was very important for the project to be a success."
