Buildings are the backdrop for the daily drama of our lives. Whether they demand our attention or fade into the background, they all perform for the people who use them. Design in architecture is the practice of identifying how the building should perform with the best interests of the building owners and stakeholders in mind. When done well, this results in a building whose character reflects the values of those who rely on them.
Holmes Architecture approaches every project with an open mind and careful study of the values and constraints that are unique to each site, each building, and each owner. Of particular interest are the unique opportunities afforded by the renovation of existing buildings and collaborations that help grow the local community.
As Austin grows, the existing building stock will continue to increase in cultural and historical value as it becomes more scarce. The quirky culture of our Texas Capital is defined by both its human characters and its building heritage, both of which are worth honoring and preserving. Holmes' work looks to this culture as inspiration for works both built and conceptual.
