A Personal Connection to Stone Architecture and Design
With an appreciation for natural stone, designer Darwin Harrison carefully chose regional limestone in diverse sizes and textures to create a unique and comfortable home for him and his partner in Austin, TX
Darwin Harrison grew up and studied architecture in West Texas. His passion and appreciation for all things design-related has resulted in a career path that has taken many turns and varied pathways. He is a graduate of Texas Tech University College of Architecture and went on to the graduate program at University of Texas School of Architecture. Early in his career, he was an instructor at Texas Tech University College of Architecture and a field representative for Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture in New York City. Harrison went on to establish his own firm, Darwin Harrison Design, in Austin, TX, working as a freelance designer, photographer and writer.
Recently Harrison designed his own home, where he lives with his partner. Inspired by innovative designs and the landscape around him, the designer passionately visited local quarries and thought outside the box to create their dream home. Overall the design intent was to use a varied palette where each material was expressed in a compelling and authentic manner, yet was part of a cohesive whole when considered in totality.
