Travis Price Architects
WASHINGTON, DC
When approaching a project, Travis Price Architects keeps a trio of
tenets in mind: ecology, mythology, and technology. By blending all
three, the firm—led by environmental pioneer, author, educator, and
philosopher Travis Price—can create buildings that don't just satisfy the
needs of today, but endure and innovate well into the future. Focusing
on the humanity of each structure and using the homeowner's unique
story and needs as a guideline in concert with the specifics of the
site, Travis Price Architects ensures that all its creations possess a true
spirit of place.
In addition to striking and eco-friendly residences, the firm has designed
AIA award-winning commercial and institutional buildings in the
United States, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Price is responsible for
the world's largest solar building and installed the first wind machine
in Manhattan, as well as coined the term "passive solar" with his early
green architectural works in New Mexico. Since 1975, he has won a
litany of design awards, including the coveted Fellow of the American
Institute of Architecture Title for his unique contributions to the field
of architecture. Today he is based in Washington, DC, but designs,
consults, and lectures throughout the country and abroad.
