Trahan Architects Revenue and Competitors

Trahan Architects is a global architecture firm with offices in New Orleans and New York founded on the belief that the mindful design of everyday spaces can elevate human experience. With our roots in New Orleans and our global perspective in New York, we have risen to be ranked the number one design firm by Architect Magazine, the official publication of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). We bring a poetic approach to our work, considering each project as part of a unique ecosystem. We use the tools of our architectural practice—artistic expression, technical innovation, and the mindful selection of materials—in our search for designs that are socially impactful, sincerely sustainable, and aesthetically sublime. This process enables us to shape our communal environments in new and meaningful ways and has led to work that has received over 100 national, regional, and local awards, as well as several international design competitions, including four National AIA Awards. We believe the success of our designs is rooted in the ethos that guides our approach. We strive to create structures that reflect the uniqueness of people’s lives. Beginning from a place of openness, we engage in a meaningful dialogue with our clients, colleagues, and the context in which we are building, and continually question how our process can contribute to the health of our ecologies, communities, and landscapes. By working with compassion, conscience, and curiosity, and pausing to listen and leave space, we can discover meaningful responses that expand the definition of beauty and resonate across time. Founded in New Orleans by Victor F. “Trey” Trahan, III, FAIA in 1992, our firm has developed an extensive portfolio of work that spans the realms of the cultural, academic, athletic, residential, ecological, and beyond.
