Diverse Studio

What Diverse Studio does

Diverse Studio is a Texas-headquartered architecture and interior design firm that provides full-service design across the commercial, civic, healthcare, K-12 and higher education, faith-based, multi-family, and mixed-use sectors. The firm is registered as a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE), a credential that positions it for supplier-diversity procurement programs common to public institutions and large corporate clients. With a staff of approximately seven employees, Diverse Studio operates as a lean practice, supplementing internal capacity likely through project-based subcontracting for larger engagements.

The firm has assembled a project portfolio that includes two HCA Medical City healthcare facilities, a joint Dallas Cowboys / Baylor Scott & White development, multiple Dallas ISD and Melissa ISD K-12 campuses, Holy Cross Christian Academy, and the Tecnológico de Monterrey Querétaro Campus Residence Hall in Mexico. Capital project budgets disclosed in the portfolio range from approximately $20 million to $64 million, indicating Diverse Studio competes for design commissions on mid- to upper-mid-scale institutional projects rather than small tenant improvements. Its geographic footprint spans Texas, Louisiana, and South Carolina domestically, with international work in Mexico.

Diverse Studio's business model is project-based fee-for-service: the firm is engaged as architect-of-record or interior designer on individual capital projects, with revenue tied to design fees typically calculated as a percentage of construction cost (commonly 6–12% in the industry). No pricing, fee schedule, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and no equity funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes are documented. The firm's go-to-market relies on RFP participation, MBE/SBE set-aside eligibility, and reference-driven repeat business from institutional owners.
