// Future Oriented Studio
Commercial and residential architecture in Austin. We design it, permit it and see it built.
FOS Architects works with business owners, developers and property owners to create spaces that look distinct, work hard and hold their value. We bring design, technology and fabrication together, and we stay with you from the first site visit through the last inspection.

// How we work
From first visit to final inspection
- 01
Site and code review
We visit the site, pull the records and tell you what is possible before you spend money on design.
- 02
Design
Concepts, renderings and drawings, shaped with you and checked against budget along the way.
- 03
Permitting
We prepare the permit set, submit it and answer every reviewer comment until it is approved.
- 04
Construction
We stay on through construction, answer contractor questions and walk the job until it is done.
// Innovation
Interactive technology and fabrication
Beyond buildings, our studio explores interactive installations, responsive structures and digital fabrication. What we learn here feeds back into every space we design.
