Meet Aaron Trecartin, AIA
Architect, Husband, Father, Dog Lover, Preservation Enthusiast, Sailor
Aaron Trecartin is the principal architect of Building Block. He and his wife, Libby, live with their two young daughters and their dog Lady in a 1920s Tudor Revival cottage in Dallas’ Junius Heights Historic District. When he’s not practicing architecture, Aaron enjoys sailing his Com‑Pac 16 across White Rock Lake.
A proud Dallas native, Aaron holds architecture degrees from Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Arlington and is a registered architect in Texas. Before founding Building Block, he gained extensive experience with more than $500 million in projects and over three million square feet of built work across North Texas and beyond. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Preservation Dallas, the White Rock Boat Club, and Munger Place Church, and is actively involved in his neighborhood.
Aaron’s practice is rooted in a passion for Dallas’ historic and conservation districts. Since moving to Junius Heights in 2016, he has served on multiple neighborhood task forces, contributing to preservation efforts as a homeowner, architect, and civic appointee. His commitment to older homes shines through in Building Block’s designs, which honor architectural heritage while enhancing the character and vitality of each neighborhood.
