PROFILE


Designing a great building is hard enough. Designing a building that's aesthetically pleasing, affordable, and sustainable? That takes a real character. With projects ranging from low-income housing to large-scale mixed-use developments to private residences, Angela Brooks has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to designing buildings that preserve the environment and inspire their community. Whether at work or at home, this is one award-winning architect who practices what she preaches; her celebrated "Solar Umbrella" house is groundbreaking in its design and energy-efficiency, providing just one example of why Brooks so richly deserves to be recognized as Character Approved.
