Brian Healy

Brian Healy (born ____) is an American architect based in Somerville, Massachusetts and Jackson, New Hampshire.

He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects and is founder and principal at Brian Healy Architects, an architecture and design firm established in 1985 in Boston.

Early life and career

Brian Healy was born in Gary, Indiana, and grew up on the East Coast in northern New Jersey and southern Pennsylvania. He studied architecture at the Pennsylvania State University, receiving his Bachelor’s in 1978. He earned his Master of Architecture degree from the Yale School of Architecture in 1981. Healy worked at the offices of Charles Moore, Cesar Pelli, and Richard Meier before founding his own practice, Brian Healy Architects in 1985 in Boston. The architect has taught architectural design studios and seminars at universities across North America, including at both of his alma maters. Healy was the 2004 president of the Boston Society of Architects and from 2011-2014 he served as Design Director at Perkins&Will.

The architect’s most prominent buildings include the Student Center at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell, Massachusetts; Grant Recital Hall at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island; Education and Community Center at Korean Church of Boston in Brookline, Massachusetts; Lincoln Street Garage in Boston; and numerous apartment buildings, houses, and loft renovations predominantly in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and California.

A recent monograph on Brian Healy’s work Commonplaces: Working on an American Architecture opens with a statement by Juhani Pallasmaa:

“Brian Healy's projects appear sober and moderate, yet elegantly sensuous. They make one think of the innocence of early Modernism and the unpretentiousness of vernacular traditions…His projects reveal an insightful, layered, and subtle thinking process. The appealing and personal character of the work arises from carefully considered proportions, fenestration, materials, and details, as well as precise graphically treated surfaces…His buildings project a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.”

Residencies and travel fellowships

After completing his graduate degree, Healy received the William Wirt Winchester Travelling Fellowship from Yale University and the Dinkeloo Traveling Fellowship in Architecture from the Van Allen Institute, which afforded him the opportunity to travel the world for a year, including a residency at the American Academy in Rome.
