By |2020-05-12T14:29:15-05:00November 18th, 2017|Competitions, Fun for Architects, The Design Process|

The Dallas AIA and TEXO have partnered with the SPCA again this year for the Bark+Build contest, pairing up architecture firms and general contractors to create unique dog houses which are raffled off in December.  Proceeds benefit the SPCA of North Texas - a worthy cause for sure.  While Eckxstudio isn't one of the architecture firms [...]

I'm back! I never went anywhere, really -- I've been keeping busy with various projects since my last post and thought it is time for a new post seeing how 2017 is now three-quarters behind us.  And what better way to re-start the blog than to announce the completion of construction at the Ribbon House!

Why CA?

By |2020-05-12T14:32:36-05:00July 25th, 2016|Architecture, Buildings, Contracts|

Why CA?  What's CA?  Huh? CA, or Construction Administration in the lingo of architecture, is loosely defined as an architect's services to a client from the time the client awards the construction contract to a builder to the date on which the architect executes the final payment certification to the owner.  Really the correct terminology [...]

Modern Farmhouse Progress

It has been a few months since Eckxstudio finished the for construction set of drawings for the Modern Farmhouse project.  I was out at the site yesterday in the great Texas summer heat for a walk-through and thought I'd share a few pictures of the contractor's progress to date. When out on a site the [...]

New [Modern] Design Update

By |2020-05-12T14:33:33-05:00April 24th, 2016|Architecture, The Design Process, Upgrades|

Every architect knows that design is sometimes fluid, sometimes not so flexible.  Some architects have been known to "put their foot down" on a variety of issues when faced with a potential design change whether the change is requested by the client or suggested by someone such as the builder.  There may be good reasons [...]

Eckxstudio completed the residential design several months ago for a contemporary renovation & addition in the Lake Highlands area of Dallas, and the project is finally underway at the client's site.  Why the delay you ask?  It's simple, actually.  Our client on this project is both the homeowner and general contractor, and he has been [...]
