Brad Bonnet
Senior Fire Station Design Specialist
With more than thirty years of architectural experience and a hand in over one hundred fire station projects across Colorado’s Front Range, Brad advises project teams and clients through every phase of delivery, from programming and design through construction administration. He is a trusted resource for fire departments, municipalities, and fellow architects on how these buildings actually operate.
Known for real relationships with clients and contractors and easy responsiveness when a district has a need, Brad brings a mix of technical depth and genuine care to every project.
Brad knew he wanted to be an architect in high school, after a teacher he respected told him he had the mind for it. He grew up in Broomfield, stayed in Colorado, and focused the last twenty years on fire station design across the Front Range. At Infusion, he advises project teams through every phase of a fire station project and mentors architects on the intricacies of the building type.
Brad treats fire station design as a problem-solving discipline, one that asks a designer to reconcile technology, budget, and the expectations of both district and community. Fire chiefs, city staff, contractors, and fellow architects describe him as a trusted resource who returns calls quickly and shows up when a district has a need. His philosophy is simple: take one thing from every person you meet and let it make you better. It’s the habit that keeps fire district clients coming back.
Outside the office, Brad is a family man. He fishes, hunts, camps, and hikes, and the newest joy in his life is his granddaughter.
