Patrick Burke-McCoy

Associate, Architecture

Patrick is an architectural professional who strives to foster enthusiasm and excitement across every phase of the design process. Meticulous and detail-oriented, he tackles projects by breaking them down and assessing how even the smallest aspects can be improved.

A true early bird, Patrick believes in starting his days ahead of the conventional schedule, rising with the sun to seize the day. He believes a stagnant environment lacks creative thought and innovation, and that an ever-changing environment is crucial to life and architecture. Patrick earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Patrick uses his time outside of the office to volunteer with the Matthias Academy, assisting students with learning impairments. In his spare time, you’ll also find him on an early morning run through the city, exploring new restaurants for great food and delicious cocktails, and taking all kinds of photos via his iPhone.

Expanding the footprint of a home can gain much-needed space, but sometimes, it helps to lower the basement floor, too, so you gain some extra vertical space.
