Philosophy

Committed to architectural excellence,
committed to you.


Finding an architect that not only gets your vision, but can actually bring it to life is often the most difficult step to starting a renovation or building project.

Regardless of the project type (remodel, new construction, interior finish-out, adaptive re-use of an existing facility), or your level of experience working with an architect, we’re here to guide, support, and advise you every step of the way of your project. With over 34 years of experience, we can help you avoid common project pitfalls, costly mistakes, and project-delaying oversights.

We work with you to create spaces that are beautiful, functional, practical, and affordable without sacrificing style or quality materials. We have extensive experience in smaller energy-efficient, affordable residential projects including new homes, additions, remodels and room additions, as well as commercial buildings such as restaurants/bars and retail shops of all sizes.

As we journey together, our goal is to empower you to be bold with your choices, feel confident in your decisions, and satisfied with your solutions.

Meet Your Architect

Tom Hines
I founded Tom Hines Architect (THA) in 1995, primarily working with owners of pre-1900 Texas Style masonry buildings for stabilization, restoration, and adaptive reuse.
My work with the pre-civil war era masonry buildings in New Orleans, Louisiana expanded my understanding of different masonry structures, and I have developed an extensive resource of problem-solving tools and methods to overcome even the most difficult of architectural challenges.

What We Do

Firmly Committed to Excellence
As I design facilities, I am constantly researching new technologies and manufacturing techniques that reduce the cost of construction, enhance the building’s aesthetic quality, and significantly reduce operating cost without compromising durability.
