Well-designed places improve the quality of our lives.

I embrace a collaborative design process to create timeless, delightful places that are inspired by tradition and rooted in place.

I listen and find solutions using the most effective tools.

Through respectful, attentive listening and a process that incorporates hand sketching alongside cutting edge digital technologies, I develop designs that are inspiring, fully coordinated, and constructable.

R. Austin Architect is a full-service architecture firm based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

I’m dedicated to quality, committed to fair and reasonable fees, and believe in partnering with clients on projects of all types and budgets. I’d love the opportunity to talk with you about your project.

Principal

I am a registered Architect in Colorado, Alabama, and Georgia with twenty years of experience in design and construction and a history of working closely with Clients and Contractors to achieve successful outcomes.

I am a native of Birmingham, Alabama and received undergraduate degrees in Architecture and Interior Architecture from Auburn University where I participated in the Rural Studio program and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I later attended the University of California, Berkeley where I earned a graduate degree in Architecture. Prior to founding R. Austin Architect, I worked with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in San Francisco and then for Williams Blackstock Architects in Birmingham, Alabama as a Project Manager and Office Team Leader.

I love the Lord, my wife, and my three children, and in my spare time I enjoy camping, hiking, and running through the mountains with my family.
