2013 OVERVIEW 34 Active Projects and Initiatives - Centered on improving livability and viability, project types range widely and include single family homes, multi-unit developments, university campus planning, and community/artist collaborations.

144,678 Square Footage Designed - The unique social, economic and environmental conditions of place guide the design process and products in Dallas, Houston, and the Lower Rio Grande Valley communities.

10,137 Voices Heard - By listening to and amplifying voices, our outreach efforts change perceptions of place and build stronger communities through understanding common challenges and celebrating shared histories.

102 Stories Documented - Documenting and exhibiting stories highlights the unique culture and development of neighborhoods, and creates a platform for active dialogue about the history and future of our communities.

148 Community Engagement Meetings and Events - Engaging stakeholders is at the core of a thoughtful design practice and ensures that design solutions reflect community values, identify and respond to core issues, and are held to high professional standards.

Work Across Texas - bcWORKSHOP's projects span seven counties: Dallas, Tarrant, Harris, Cameron, Starr, Hidalgo, and Willacy. Over the last two years, we have expanded our office to include Dallas, Brownsville and Houston, applying our community based practice to address both needs that are unique to each locality as well as their shared needs.

Awards & Recognition

bcWORKSHOP has been fortunate in 2013 to receive recognition on local, national and international scales for both architecture and planning work. Awards include:

Our office's work was also exhibited at AIA Dallas Small Firm Roundtable's "Under the Radar" exhibit at the Dallas Center for Architecture and the Texas Society of Architects State Convention in Fort Worth.
