About Me

- I am an architect in Dallas, happily married with 1 child. A majority of the projects I develop are private residences but my firm also specializes in the design of fire stations and retail environments. In 2009 I received the American Institute of Architects "Young Architect of the Year" award (but it was probably for doing things that would cause others to think twice). Life is good.
Wow, I've never thought about the fact that someone designs the firestation. I've always thought of churches as a cool opportunity for architects, because of the real community that happens there, but Firestations have a much more intense claim.
ReplyDeleteFire stations are the only other building type that we market ourselves toward. The reason is everyone here really enjoys the personal aspects of designing a residence for someone, the shared sense of ownership that comes along with the process, and fire stations are very similar in that regard. I am still very friendly with the fire chiefs we work with and several of the fire fighters that use the stations. It's really what makes this job so great.
