Patrick Farley

AIA/LEED BD+C

Most recently under the banner of Sunflower Studio, my experience covers a broad range of project types, including single family & multifamily residential, mixed-use, cultural, retail, corporate, commercial and environmental education facilities.  I have served private clients, non-profit organizations, municipalities, the federal government, as well as international interests in Haiti, West Africa and Central America.  

My background includes sustainable development, affordable housing, master planning, landscape design, permaculture, solar energy systems design and alternative/natural building methods.  I am a trained Virginia Master Naturalist volunteer, which entails community service and educating the general public around conservation and stewardship of Virginia's natural resources. From 2010 to 2018, I lead a design-build team in delivering over $10 million in construction services, thus I also bring a wealth of builder/contractor experience into my process as an architect.  My 30+ years of practice was preceded by studies at the University of Virginia, where I earned my B.S. in Architecture (1988) and my Master of Architecture (1993).
