Booziotis & Company Architects is a group of talented and experienced professionals organized to provide architectural and interior design services for unique or difficult commissions as well as analysis of existing situations for future projects. The diversity of projects, in type, scale, and style, completed by the firm as Thomas & Booziotis Architects since 1965, and as Booziotis & Company Architects since 1989, attests to a high level of proficiency in all phases of the architects' work. The focus of Booziotis & Company Architects is challenging assignments, large or small, that require innovative, resourceful, knowledgeable, sophisticated and/or difficult solutions. We believe that the success of functional, economic, and aesthetic decision making comes from significant interaction between the client and the architect in all phases of the work. Client involvement has proven to be a pivotal factor in achieving the desirable and distinctive personality of each project. The design solutions reflect the character and purpose of the client, tempered with a classic sense of good taste that has allowed the firm's projects to develop very individual style and to have timeless appeal. As an architectural firm that understands and is very sensitive to interior design, we emphasize the design of interior architectural spaces. Much of the work of the firm focuses on understanding and interpreting the response of people to particular architectural environments and on working to create an appropriate balance for energy, drama and comfort. Projects range from the forty million dollar Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with Kallmann, McKinnell and Wood, to a small retreat cabin on a North Texas farm. Other work has included the renovation and expansion of four buildings to house The School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin, the design of the Corporate Offices for Texas Instruments, The Margaret and Trammell Crow Collection of Asian Art, and a new building for The Communities Foundation of Texas. A private museum, and a Computer Science Building for Richland College are currently under construction as well as the First United Methodist Church of Dallas. The firm's work is exclusively for owner occupied facilities and is divided roughly into six parts: institutional, commercial, cultural, civic, religious, and single family residential. In addition to new construction, the firm is very much involved with project analysis, restoration, renovation, additions and interiors. We frequently team with other architects to deliver the best service for our clients. We maintain an interest in and appreciation for crafting environments. To handle unique aspects of our commissions and for the enrichment of the interior spaces, we have established a team of artists, craftsmen, artisans, specialty workrooms, consultants, and other organizations that extend the range and depth of our services. Booziotis & Company Architects takes great pride in the ability to offer unique and creative solutions for individual client needs.   Design Awards AIA/Dallas Honor Award Goldsmith Hall, The University of Texas at Austin AIA/Dallas Honor Award The Dealey Library, Hall of State, Fair Park, Dallas Distinguished Firm Award for 1989 The University of Texas at Arlington Texas Society of Architects Honor Award Goldsmith Hall, The University of Texas at Austin Keystone Award for Outstanding Achievement in Historic Preservation The Magnolia Lounge AIA/Dallas Merit Award The Magnolia Lounge AIA/Dallas Honor Award The Gertz Residence Texas Society of Architects Honor Award Sutton Hall, The University of Texas at Austin The Lantern Award Restoration of the Arnold House AIA/Dallas Honor Award The Storey Residence AIA/Dallas Honor Award The Arlington Family YMCA Guild for Religious Architecture Merit Award Beth-el United Presbyterian Church AIA/Dallas Award for Design Excellence The Sporleder Residence   Selected Published Work "Sky-High Classic" by Carol Soucek King, Designers West, June-July 1991 "Domed Illusions" by Mary Elizabeth Naegele, Architectural Lighting, May 1991 "Sound Effects" by Ray Don Tilley, Architecture, January 1991 "Best Laid Plans" David Dillon, Architecture, November 1990 "Goldsmith Hall" Texas Architect, January-February 1990 "Edifice Tex" A documentary on Goldsmith Hall, Public Educational Television, Austin, Texas, 13 October 1988 "School of Thought, UT's Architecture Complex Offers a Lesson in Design" Austin American Statesman, 8 October 1988 "The Magnolia Blooms" Progressive Architecture, April 1988 "Confirmation of Context" by Gilbert Hoffman, Texas Architect, November-December 1989 "Window on the World" by Mariana Greene, Dallas Life Magazine, 29 October 1989 "Regilding Goldsmith Hall" by Deborah Morris, Cite, Spring-Summer 1989 "Old World Treasures in Dallas, Classical Echoes fill a Collector's Residence" Architectural Digest, August 1989 "Artful Independence, Up-to-date Backdrop for a Contemporary Collection in Dallas", Architectural Digest, October 1989 "A Rare Blend - Art Deco, Western and Shaker Unite for a Modern Adaptation at the Hall of State" Dallas Life Magazine, 12 November 1989   Exhibitions Bill Booziotis FAIA and Downing A.
