Joe Irwin

Principal, Architect

Based in our Denver studio, Joe serves as Studio Director and Denver Office Director, bringing more than 15 years of leadership in fixture design and architectural innovation. His work bridges design and making, strengthening how ideas move from concept through modeling, fabrication, and installation.

Joe has guided multidisciplinary teams of international consultants and vendors to deliver complex, custom fixture programs for high-profile and confidential clients. Along the way, he’s become a champion for integrating emerging tools into practice, including pioneering the use of 3D printing within architectural workflows — work that earned recognition from Architect Magazine. His portfolio includes bespoke environments for clients, alongside ongoing research and development that continues to shape the future of retail and experiential design.

Beyond projects, Joe is deeply invested in the firm itself. He helped launch and grow MBH’s Denver office, contributes to continuing education and design technology knowledge-sharing groups, participates in international conferences, and supports innovation initiatives including AI-driven workflows. His combination of technical mastery and entrepreneurial spirit has expanded what our teams can deliver.
