We recently had the pleasure of completing work on a large project for which the plans were created by Kevin Patrick O'Brien Architect, Inc.. The firm showed exceptional creativity and obvious attention to detail. Layout displayed great insight into what it takes to create a HOME, which even on grand scale, had excellent "flow" & livability. True example of form and function. Great job!

I have worked with Kevin O'Brien for more than 15 years. He is simply the most talented architect I have found. His passion for what he does is contagious and shows in his work. His homes are architecturally themed from inside and out and that matters! As a builder it is important for the plans to be detailed, complete and actually work in the real world.
