Brandon Pass Architect is an architecture practice located in Asheville, North Carolina that strives to merge modern sensibilities and detailing with the vernacular influences of the region.  Brandon Pass Architect is a small multidisciplinary practice pursuing an architecture that recognizes the responsibilities of the built form where environmental, social and contextual factors shape each insertion into a given landscape. Architecture should seek to express a given function through a strong clarity of space and form where the details become expressive and exploratory, respecting the hand of the maker while expressing a connection to a greater whole.  The responsibility of the architect, in part, is to be aware of all factors of a  given context that may inform the design process. It requires an extensive knowledge of and desire to learn new methodologies creating architecture of the highest quality respectful of both time and place.

Brandon Pass is a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University’s College of Architecture and Urban Studies where he received his Bachelor of Architecture in 1997. Since, he has worked in top-level design firms in Charleston, South Carolina, Chicago, and New York City and holds licenses to practice architecture in Illinois, New York and North Carolina.
