Malone Maxwell Borson Architects
DALLAS, TX
For Michael Malone, FAIA founding principal of Malone Maxwell Borson
Architects, popular design trends are overrated as design inspiration. The
firm's work emphasizes responding to the unique aspects of the site and
understanding the homeowner's lifestyle. These components matter in
the long run and contribute to how the house is used and enjoyed. Often
countering the media's presentation of fads and visual cues, Malone Maxwell
Borson creates homes that strive for timelessness, eschewing a particular
style. The team finds this philosophy refreshing and fun—and an expanding
list of enthusiastic clients agree. It embodies the idea that the client-architect
experience should result in a unique and personal expression, best suiting
the client's aspirations.
Founded in 1992, Malone Maxwell Borson Architects is a full-service
architectural firm designing commercial, corporate, religious, educational,
and co-working spaces in addition to the flagship residential portfolio.
Michael finds his inspiration from the visual world—everything around him
is the basis for ideas. Through close observation, you'll experience a vast
variety of patterns, variations, and forms to draw from in art, nature, and
everyday surroundings. Frequent travel also generates inspiration, recorded
by Michael in drawings and sketches. These are also tools for working out
problems and exploring design solutions. You can find Malone Maxwell
Borson Architects' residential and commercial work in 31 states and most
major cities. At home, the Dallas Chapter of the American Institute of
Architects recognized the firm as the Architecture Firm of the Year in 2013.
