Travis Price is an internationally renowned architect, author, philosopher and advocate of green architecture. He says, “We architects seed our future buildings in the sun while dreaming under history’s shade of mighty oaks. Nostalgia is not our vision for the future. Yet forever the past and its endless glories are the roots that let our future blossoms shine.”
“I started my firm right after I graduated with a master’s degree in architecture and BA in philosophy of the 100 great books. The first projects were passive solar adobe homes in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1972. I then headed to New York City and Tennessee, followed by 40 years in Maryland and DC.”
“While designing numerous projects in the 80s and 90s, the real breakthrough and best project was my own: The Sacred Tree House – 2001. Getting through the permit process from the Fine Arts Committee in less than 28 seconds was a miracle that shows poetics rule! Subsequently, all projects have been driven by the sacred souls and poetics from my clients, and approved instantly by commissioners and owners.”
“Ecology / Mythology / Technology / creates a modern home with natural survival and a poetic charm emanating from my clients’ lives.”
When a family and art hold hands, miracles happen, as with this historic DC home.
