About
Greetings Dallas neighbors!
Aaron Trecartin, AIA, is a licensed architect and the founder of Building Block, a residential architecture firm built on the motto “the design process explained simply.”
After an initial meeting, Aaron provides a detailed proposal letter that outlines each “building block”—the milestones and deliverables of the design process that are specific to your project and needs. You’ll see estimated hours for each deliverable and transparent fee calculations, giving you peace of mind and clarity from the very beginning. Few architects offer this level of upfront detail and transparency, and it’s what sets Building Block apart.
While serving homeowners across the Dallas area, Building Block specializes in renovating older homes in the Dallas’s historic and conservation districts. Exterior renovations in these neighborhoods demand exceptional design skill and thorough documentation to gain approval from neighborhood task forces, city staff, and commissioners. Aaron’s deep familiarity with Dallas’ preservation and approval processes makes him a trusted guide for homeowners navigating these requirements.
Whatever the size or scope of your project, Building Block helps remove the stress often associated with home renovations—designing with care, leading with expertise, and ensuring your vision comes to life.
