Curiosity, enthusiasm, and intelligence

Shelf displaying framed design awards, a white architectural model, and books on architecture and design.

We love what we do.

We obsess about client, site, light and detail - in that order.

We believe architecture should strengthen human connection - to onesself, to others, to community, and to the natural world.

We believe that how we live outside is as important as how we live inside.

We value collaboration and know that, with leadership, more voices make better projects and a better world.

Our clients are lovely individuals, families, non-profits, and small businesses who value the sense of connection that thoughtfully created spaces can provide. We take on projects of all sizes with budgets of all sizes.
Inflection Architecture is certified as both a City of Houston Women Business Enterprise and a State of Texas Historically Underutilized Business.
