Bldg. Architecture

What Bldg. Architecture does

bldg. Architecture is a Dallas-area (Lewisville, Texas) architectural design firm founded and led by architect Michael Fittz, specializing in Senior Living, Multi-Family residential, and Single-Family residential projects. The firm operates as a small professional services practice with a four-person team and is licensed across eleven states in the U.S. South and Midwest, enabling it to deliver projects for enterprise clients nationwide from its Texas base. Its service model covers the full project lifecycle from initial design through certificate of occupancy, with particular depth in code-compliant senior living environments including Memory Care facilities, multi-family developments from ideation through occupancy, and custom single-family homes, remodels, and vacation homes.

The firm's underlying technology stack is described in generic terms as "cutting-edge" technology used to achieve construction-phase physical efficiencies and design-process efficiencies, but no specific platforms, proprietary tools, or AI/ML components are disclosed. The practice appears to rely on standard architectural design and project management tooling rather than a differentiated technology platform. Its primary intellectual property sits in domain expertise — particularly in Senior Living architecture, where Michael Fittz has built a personal reputation over more than a decade — and in relationships with senior living operators, multi-family developers, and structural/engineering partners such as CONNECT Structural and Telios Engineers.

The revenue model is project-based professional services fees, with pricing custom-quoted per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on industry partner recommendations, direct enterprise engagement with developers and operators, portfolio-based marketing via the firm website, and direct contact (phone, email, web form). Customer segments are segmented vertically across Senior Living Developers (primary), Multi-Family Developers (primary), and Individual Homeowners (primary), with no disclosed revenue mix but evident repeat engagement from named enterprise clients including AgeWell Solvere, Ascension Living, and QSL LLC / The Blake by QSL Management spanning a decade.
