DOB&EEL is David O’Brien and Erin E. Lindley.
The built world we create is filled with natural light, locally sourced, high performance and flexible. Connection to nature is everything to us, so we pay careful attention to the path of the sun, the landscape and plant life - crafting seamless indoor-outdoor spaces that feel connected to their specific place in the world.

ABOUT US:
We have a lifetime of experience in the world of art and architecture. Together we have participated in the design of major museums, art galleries, state-of-the-art office spaces and environmentally friendly modern homes.
After 15 years of working in California and New Mexico we moved to Austin in 2020 to be closer to family and friends. DOB&EEL are licensed to practice Architecture at any scale in Texas. We’re also NCARB Certified, giving us the ability to work in multiple states. In addition to architecture we do interior design, industrial design and make art.
It takes a big team of people to make a building. Openness and collaboration are essential. We strive to build great relationships and make the process fun along the way. From the first pencil sketches all the way through finish construction, we are here to support our clients and advocate for the highest level of build quality.
