Fitzpatrick Architects

Specialties

While there are styles for every home, the most important style is your own. That is why Fitzpatrick Architects places a special premium on the right home for you — not one that only reflects the architect’s personal taste. Our project portfolio highlights our ability to satisfy the vision you desire, whether it be Modern architecture, Spanish architecture, Tuscan architecture, Mediterranean architecture, Old World architecture or Texas Hill Country to mention a few.

History

Established in 1970.

During the early years of Fitzpatrick Architects, the architectural projects consisted of custom homes, builder homes, remodeling and home additions, condominiums and apartment complexes but soon began to focus primarily on residential projects. Fitzpatrick Architects is one of the first Austin architecture firms to produce CAD construction drawings. Today, Fitzpatrick Architects produces 3D drawings or Building Information Modeling (BIM) to include 3D computer elevations, sun studies and 3D «fly-​around» videos of projects. With this technology, the firm can produce elevations to include alternative colors and materials for different style options.
