Approaching its 50th year in practice, the national architecture and interior design firm, Dyer Brown, has announced the completion of a major transition of ownership and new roles for its three principals Brent Zeigler, Rachel Woodhouse, and Tara Martin. This much-anticipated transition caps the recent evolution of Dyer Brown, beginning in 2016 when one of its longtime owners, Roger Shepley, AIA, announced he would be stepping back from day-to-day operations of the acclaimed design and services firm.
As of 2018, taking over as owners are Dyer Brown’s leaders Brent Zeigler, AIA, IIDA, president and Director of Design; Rachel Woodhouse, NCIDQ, LEED AP, Director of Operations; and Tara Martin, Director of Client Services. The three assumed their current firm leadership roles more than two years ago, and in the intervening time they have expanded the firm’s footprint, implemented several major initiatives, and added new staff to bring Dyer
Brown to over 50 professionals. Through its offices and several functional divisions, Dyer Brown now offers its services nationwide to the hospitality, workplace, academic, and retail sectors.
