“Today we must ask ourselves: ‘How do we do more with much less?’.”

A native of Navarre, Florida, Conner Bryan has worked at Trahan Architects since 2014. His experience includes cultural and educational spaces, hospitality and commercial projects, convention and event centers, and master planning. Conner maintains a firm belief in design that provides smart and adaptive responses to human degradation on the environment.
