ABOUT US:
“We have over 35 years of collective experience in the world of architecture and design. After years of living in California and New Mexico we moved to Austin, Texas in 2020 to be closer to friends and family. DOB&EEL are licensed to practice Architecture at any scale in Texas. We are also NCARB Certified so if your project is in a different state we can quickly get licensed there too. In addition to Architecture we also do Interior Design and Industrial Design.
We are married and have two kids ages 2 and 8. Together we have participated in the design of major museums, art galleries, state-of-the-art office spaces and environmentally friendly modern homes. The built world we strive for is minimal, honest, filled with natural light, high performance and flexible. We enjoy the whole process, from the first sketches all the way through construction. We believe in collaboration and we strive to make the process fun. Drop us a line and tell us about your project!”
