For four decades, we have designed and restored America's enduring estate homes — classical architecture drawn by hand, in the lineage of Staub, Dilbeck and Thomson.
A portfolio is a list of projects. A canon is a body of work — each home documented as it deserves: its style, its making, its place in the tradition.
Wilson Fuqua studied the eclectic houses of early-20th-century America and apprenticed in their tradition. Today his firm is entrusted to renovate and extend the work of the architects who defined Dallas — John Staub, Charles Dilbeck and Hal Thomson.
To restore a master's house, you must be able to draw as the master drew. That fluency — classical proportion, hand-drawn detail, the watercolor rendering — is what we bring to every new home we create.
Classical technique and current technology, in service of one another — and of the human hand.
Hand-drawn sketches for early visualization, then computer drawings for quick adaptation to the homeowner's needs.
Beautiful illustrations that highlight the artistic result of the collaboration — every moulding and cornice resolved.
A final painted rendering — the home portrayed as the work of art it is meant to become.
