Who We Are

SHM Architects, PLLC is a Dallas-based architecture, interior, and landscape design firm with extensive experience in master planning, single-family residential, retail, commercial, and healthcare architecture.

We are ordinary people that are extraordinarily good at our work.

Through the collaborative process and strong working relationships, we believe our portfolio reflects a more thoughtful and engaging work than that achieved by a single individual. For more information, please visit our website at

What We Believe

Our passion is enriching lives by enhancing the beauty of our environment. We believe creating beautiful designs with purpose requires two things: passion and time.
