Great attention to detail. I literally did nothing on this project. She definitely spoiled me. Running a business is hard enough and she handled everything! I’m so happy I chose Mrs Lenna at FOS . I focused on my business and she took care on my 2nd location. Once completed I was happy! as long as I’m in business my loyalty is to her. Pricing was competitive to other firms, the only difference is that I still had to do runs with other firms used previously . She handled everything and that was a bargain in my opinion, and most importantly I focused on my business.

Very fast, reliable from the start. Was able to educate me on realistic timelines from the city. Drawings and drafts were even better than what I expected. She was able to provide me with realistic drawings and can’t wait to see the final product. Was able to work with my budget and provided different options on materials. Higher recommended using FOS ARCHITECTS.

The tall volume creates an airy, light-filled space for the living, kitchen, and dining areas, while the private bedrooms and offices are tucked away in the lower structure.

Architectural Form as an Expression of Nature Insp Architectural Form as an Expression of Nature Inspired by the fluid motion of a river beneath ice, the pavilion’s vaulted arches echo the graceful curves of water, blending form and function. Hyperbolic shapes efficiently distribute forces, while dark steel contrasts against the winter landscape, amplifying the sense of movement. Modular Design for Efficiency Crafted from four identical blackened steel sections, the modular design reduces material costs and simplifies construction. Prefabricated components are bolted together for quick assembly, relocation, or reuse—an approach rooted in sustainability. Durable & Environmentally Sensitive Resting on concrete pedestals that minimize impact on the landscape, the pavilion stands resilient in harsh climates. With efficient material use, reusable formwork, and adaptability, this design embodies sustainable construction and circular design principles. #ArchitecturalDesign #SustainableArchitecture #ModularDesign #NatureInspired #PavilionDesign #HyperbolicForm #SteelArchitecture #WinterArchitecture #CircularDesign #Prefabrication #ModernStructures #ArchitectsOfInstagram #DesignInspiration
We are slowly unveiling our design for a generatio We are slowly unveiling our design for a generational home centered around light, nature, and connection. The main structure, oriented along its northern face, houses the public spaces: kitchen, living, and dining areas. At the heart of the design is a year-round courtyard—a space that offers shade during the summer and protection from winter winds. The lower structure is dedicated to private spaces, including three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a private office. As this project wraps up the design phase, we’re excited to share an axonometric view and section axon to bring the vision to life.

Our design for a pavilion that hovers over ice. T Our design for a pavilion that hovers over ice. This pavilion is designed to be constructed like a kit of parts. It is made of 12-gauge hot-rolled blackened steel that is shaped using reusable plywood formwork. The steel is molded with heat and pressure to achieve its hyperbolic geometry while minimizing waste. Once shaped, the modular steel panels are bolted at the spine and peak, ensuring easy assembly and stability. Concrete pedestals anchor the structure with minimal ground impact, blending strength with environmental sensitivity. Kit of Parts 1. Steel plate 2. Bolts embedded into concrete pedestal 3. Angles bolted to each of the 4 generated sections. 4. Bolts located at the peak and spine of the form. 5. Each generated section is identical, just mirrored to create the structure. 7. Nuts connected to the bolts anchoring the structure together. 8. Concrete pedestals allowing for minimal touch points on the ice.

If you ask any architect, they’ll tell you we’ If you ask any architect, they’ll tell you we’re problem solvers. But what does that actually mean for you as a future client? Truth is, we do a lot—and we do it with passion. Architects take your vision and turn it into a functional, beautiful design, carefully considering how every detail will impact the people who use the space. From the way natural light enters a room to how materials age over time, we think critically about how design shapes experiences. At the same time, we navigate complex local and federal codes, zoning requirements, and permitting processes to ensure your project is compliant without losing its creative edge. We guide you through the entire journey—handling the technical details, maximizing your space’s potential, and ensuring quality construction with sustainable practices. #architecture #archdailyprofessionals #broker #entrepreneur #smallbusinessownerlife #smallbusiness #austintx #austintexas #construction #constructionindustry

We have been experimenting whith ceiling designs f We have been experimenting whith ceiling designs for a new residential project we've been working on. Wouldn't it be cool if architecture had the capacity to move, undulate to the user's needs? A ceiling that undulates based on how much sunlight you want entering the space? Through the early stages of our design process we explore multliple varations of options to ensure that any design element aligns with the goal and use of the project. #architecturelovers #parametricdesign #futurism #architecturestudio #creativeprocess #parametricism #grasshopperrhino #sustainable
