Bio
Marisa Repka
As a Senior Associate at BCV, Colin has continually provided strong leadership and project management for our office. Beyond his architectural and managerial talent, he has also proved himself a particularly valuable resource as lead on office contracts – from writing and negotiation to fee management. Colin is organized, efficient, and above all a true pleasure to work with.
Alexander Godson
I am most grateful to Colin Alley for his architectural talents. Colin Alley played a significant role in the design of the second Alexander G. hair salon. His ability to understand the brand from the perspective of a client, then as the architect, while leading the design of the new salon was impressive. Colin grasped the essence of our brand concept and developed a space with precision and detail that reflects the Alexander G. philosophy. Colin was both meticulous in his adherence to the architectural design and accommodating to my spacial concerns while integrating the Creative Director's brand requirements. Quite remarkable. The second Alexander G. hair salon is a perfect example of understated British elegance.
