Jim and Richard, two long-time friends who first met in junior high, have built a remarkable partnership over the last 40 years. Their shared passion for design and creativity laid the foundation for their future success. After graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington and gaining valuable experience in the field, they decided to combine their talents and vision to form their own architecture firm. Their complementary skills and deep understanding of each other's strengths have enabled them to create innovative and sustainable designs, earning them a reputation for excellence in the industry.
