Delineate Studio

Delineate Studio's work brings craftsmanship through a deliberate and personal approach to each project. To achieve simple, yet timeless and meaningful design solutions, the firm's work wrestles with complex and technical design explorations. We solve design problems while seeking to bring surprise and delight in each architectural project. Delineate Studio is a full-service architecture and urban design firm specializing in multifamily, custom residential, commercial tenant improvement, and mixed-use projects. In addition to performing design services, we represent the client through a building process that involves contractors, engineering consultants, governmental agencies, and building codes. Our design excellence, holistic approach, and technical knowledge brings value to building projects. Recent notable projects include the Fourth & Mixed-use, the Riley downtown Austin, Suerte Restaurant, and The Yard. In our collaboration entity, TB-DS, we are watching construction of 901 E. 6th Street Offices, which will be the first commercial use of cross laminated timber in Texas.
