Stanley Architects was founded 40 years ago in El Paso by Duffy Stanley, FAIA and has been established in Austin since 1984. Through these years of research, education and experience our firm has been able to develop a deep awareness and appreciation for sustainable design as an underlying philosopic and pragmatic approach to the design process. We have served as prime consultants for many diverse projects requiring effective integration of multiple systems and components. We have also served as sustainability consultants for other prime firms, successfully helping them integrate sustainable systems into their own projects with a knowledge and background of how to be most effective in this capacity.

Our steadfast approach is to develop each project from its inception with a holistic, incorporated attitude to environmentally sensitive design. Fundamental principles are coalesced into the design process early in the master planning, site analysis, budgeting and programming stages. From this foundation through the life of the project, a sustainable approach to regional, site specific, and building issues is realistically integrated into the project design, respectful of the client's needs, budget and timeline.

Success with our approach depends critically upon a collaborative effort. We obtain input from all the users, consultants and team members during all stages of planning.
