BRS Architects

The BRS Architects team celebrated the holidays with some festive office fun and a night out together. We kicked things off with a Secret Santa exchange filled with lots of laughs and presents ranging from yummy treats and homemade gifts to practical tools. Afterward, the fun continued at the office with a few friendly games of pool and darts before everyone headed home to get ready for our holiday dinner.

We wrapped up the celebration with a holiday dinner at Big Al's, enjoying great food, drinks, and time to relax and connect with coworkers and friends. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the season together.

This year, BRS Architects—and designers from across the valley—were invited to participate in J+J Flooring’s Annual Helping Hands Christmas Tree Competition. The event provides decorated Christmas trees for kids at St. Luke's Medical Center Children’s Hospital, bringing a little extra holiday cheer to their season.

Each participant received a 3-ft tree at the beginning of November, then brought their creations to the Create Spaces showroom yesterday for the final Helping Hands event. Prizes were awarded for Best in Show/Grand Prize, Runner-Up, and Designer’s Choice.

BRS Architects entered two themed trees: “Reindeer Games” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” With 50 trees in the competition, the creativity on display was incredible—and voting for Designer’s Choice was no easy task!

All trees will be delivered to St. Luke’s this Friday, where the kids will get to choose their favorite. It was a wonderful way to spread some holiday joy this year.

A big thank you to J+J Flooring for organizing the event, and to all the generous sponsors: 3Form, Create Spaces, Armstrong, and DESIGNTEX.

The 40th Annual Rake Up Boise!
What an incredible day to get outside and make a difference!

This Saturday, the BRS Architects team rolled up our sleeves for the 40th Annual Rake Up Boise — joining hundreds of volunteers to support our veteran, disabled, and elderly neighbors. Our team filled 65 bags of leaves and enjoyed getting to know the homeowner, whose gratitude made the experience even more meaningful.

A big shoutout to NeighborWorks Boise for organizing this event every year. Events like this remind us of the power of community. It’s inspiring to see our team come together, have fun, and create a positive impact right in our own backyard.

Proud of everyone who showed up and gave their time. Grateful for opportunities like this — and already looking forward to next year!
