Rick and Cindy Black are residential architects with projects in Austin and the Hill country. Through the years the couple has established their reputation for thoughtful houses, ranging from backyard dwellings and inventive renovations to gracious family estates. As partners in both our professional and personal lives, we bring a unique collaboration to each of our projects. Our shared love of architecture motivates us to work together as a team, bringing two sets of eyes and a balance of perspectives.
Our goal is to enable our clients to make the most of their living spaces and their lives. Fundamental issues come first: How are you going to live here? How are you going to interact? The answers inform our process and concepts. From there, space is defined through clean lines and simple gestures of proportion. Warm materials and well-tailored details complete the vision. We offer architectural services for a range of projects, from transformative renovations to new construction. The first step in our design process is the Conceptual Study, which helps a client realize the full potential of the site and defines the project scope through sketches and site analysis.
