Epic work is
only possible
when you
have the
right people.
The kind of people who are good at what they do and know how to have fun in the process.
We always
take our
work seriously. But never ourselves.
We keep things light. We laugh hard. And we genuinely enjoy one another’s company. It’s our secret sauce. And when you work with us, we consider you part of the team. So prepare to roll up your sleeves and have some fun too.
Our team in their Natural Environment.#dtjculture
Today we celebrate International Women`s Day and the amazing women at DTJ who bring their creativity, passion, and commitment every day and play a pivotal part in creating amazing experiences for our clients. We heard, in their own words, what it means to be a woman in our industry and share that to inspire and encourage women everywhere to follow their dreams.
Mitch Broussard just leveled up to licensed architect! Mitch`s nearly 5-year journey with us has been nothing short of inspiring, packed with his standout contributions to epic projects like the Desert Mountain Renegade Club and the Waypoint at Westerly Amenity. Reflecting on his work, Mitch shares, "The Renegade Clubhouse was a fresh challenge right from my start at DTJ, offering an opportunity to work on something completely new." He adds, "Every design, from townhouse bedrooms to outdoor lounges, impacts someone`s life, sometimes in ways they don`t even realize." Join us in applauding Mitch`s dedication and creativity in his career, which truly makes a difference. 👏
Meet Travis, our "Experience Creator" (his self-given title), who has a knack for adding a dash of fun to everything he does. During the pandemic, Travis turned his home into a greenhouse, nurturing not one, not ten, but a whopping 71 house plants. His green thumb isn`t the only thing he tends to, either. He`s a proud pet parent to Winslow, aka "Buddy," his Winter White Hamster—a character in his own right.
As a kid, Travis dreamed of becoming a zoologist; he now channels that curiosity into designing meaningful spaces in our architecture studio. His friends and family describe him as honest, loyal, and delightfully sarcastic, a combo as punchy as his favorite meme—the kid with a fist full of sand (we know, it`s hilarious every time).
We`re not just grateful for his exceptional talent and collaborative spirit. We`d trust him with our house plants and our house plans alike!
It`s #UglyChristmasSweaterDay and we`re only just getting started for the holiday season with our annual ugly sweater contest coming this Tuesday. Our crew has a history of going all out, and we absolutely can`t wait to see what wild ideas and a little Photoshop will bring to the table. Swipe to see what some of us wore last year—who do YOU think took home the prize?
Baking for a cause! A big thank you to our team who came dressed in their ugly sweater best with goodies and donations for our third annual charity bake sale where we raised money for @bedtimeinabox —an organization that equips families with the tools, materials, and training they need to enact a comprehensive and daily bedtime routine. It was a day filled with fun and laughter, and, of course, a competitive ugly sweater contest. Results to come!
With our annual #PhotoContest officially over, we wanted to share some of the stunning submissions from our grand winners! With categories such as black and white, landscape, culture, people and pets, and buildings, we challenged our team to expand their creative spirit and think outside the box. Photos were judged based on composition, lighting, texture, and color, with a goal to tell their stories through a medium unique to them. Swipe to see more!
A few of our ATX designers attended the Austin Architecture Cruise earlier this month, where they enjoyed the picturesque views of Austin`s evolving skyline along Lady Bird Lake. It was a humble reminder of the beauty in old and new design, taking a closer look at the city we`re proud to be a part of. Thank you to the Austin Foundation for Architecture for hosting this enlightening experience!
A little #FlashbackFriday to our Atlanta office #SummerOuting at the stunning #MercedesBenzStadium back in May. Watching Atlanta United, Atlanta’s official soccer team, play against the New England Revolution was nothing short of amazing. Although it ended in a tie of 3 to 3, we know who really won. It was such a fun experience, hanging out with the team, and exploring some of the architecture that makes Atlanta the diverse and unique city it is.
Fun facts: The Falcon structure outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the largest free-standing structure in the world; the Telstar soccer ball structure is the biggest soccer ball sculpture in the US.
