Devon Patterson is a Principal at SCB whose three decades of practice have shaped major urban residential, mixed-use, commercial office, and higher education environments across the country. A leading voice within the firm’s high‑ and mid‑rise residential and mixed‑use studios, he brings a design philosophy rooted in urban stewardship—crafting buildings that strengthen the public realm, advance sustainable performance, and elevate the lived experience. His work is distinguished by a commitment to density as a driver of vibrant, resilient cities, particularly through hybrid mixed‑use typologies that integrate living, working, and hospitality programs into cohesive architectural ecosystems.

Devon’s recent portfolio reflects a broad national impact, including the Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences in Nashville; Skymark in Reston, Virginia; Hub50House in Boston; and Raye in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a project that reimagines a suburban town center as a walkable, transit‑oriented district. Additional work includes 333 Water Street, a residential tower anchoring Milwaukee’s riverfront; the revitalization of FAT Village in Fort Lauderdale; and SCB’s role in the transformation of 776 Summer Street in South Boston—each reinforcing his focus on large‑scale urban redevelopment in emerging and evolving markets.

Beyond his commercial practice, Devon led the decade‑long architectural transformation of Loyola University Chicago’s three campuses, delivering more than ten new buildings and pioneering advanced sustainability strategies such as double‑skin façades, hydronic radiant systems, and geothermal infrastructure. His work there established a new benchmark for environmentally responsive campus design.

A frequent speaker on urban design and residential innovation, Devon is an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Chicago Architecture Center, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the Design Futures Council. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Pennsylvania State University.
