We are excited to announce that the Texas Society of Architects has selected our Dallas studio for the 2024 Architecture Firm Award—the highest honor they can give an architecture firm.

The Architecture Firm Award is presented annually to a single Texas firm that has “consistently produced distinguished architecture and has contributed significantly to the profession and the community for a period of at least 10 years.”

“This recognition is especially meaningful because it celebrates both the quality of our work and the mission behind it,” says Tom Reisenbichler, the Dallas studio’s managing director. “Our studio has been growing for more than 30 years, and we’re proud to take risks, design with a voice, and, most importantly, implement our core values of environmental stewardship and community well-being.”

Thank you to the AIA Dallas Community Honors Committee for the nomination and to the Texas Society of Architects jury for this honor!
