Claire O’Connor Architecture PLLC is a small practice based in Alexandria, Virginia.

After graduating with her BArch from the Rice University School of Architecture and completing her preceptorship year at PLP in London, Claire worked for Natalye Appel + Associates Architects in Houston, Texas. There she gained invaluable experience in residential and civic architecture, especially through her involvement with the award-winning redesign of Levy Park. She then moved to San Francisco to work for BAR Architects, where she contributed to several multi-family housing and hospitality projects across the Bay Area.

In 2018, Claire moved back to her native East Coast to start her own practice with a house for her parents’ retirement. She is licensed in Virginia.
