drooopi is an architecture office rethinking where and how we live.
drooopi offers architectural services for projects of all types, scales, and budgets: houses and housing; restaurant, retail, and brand experiences; arts centers; installations; and more. Our approach is grounded in finding dogmatically rational solutions that challenge presumptions, expressed with a refined and playful aesthetic sensibility.
drooopi is technically a cheeky acronym for “Davis Richardson Office of Objects, Projects, and Images,” meaning we design and make drawings of architecture and related things. drooopi as a name implies the reconsideration of preconceived notions: a building that droops is typically considered to be failing. What opportunities are there for defying conventional wisdom that could produce better buildings, more interesting spaces?
drooopi is led by Davis Richardson, a licensed architect in New York and Texas.

Enfilade House is an ongoing development for a modest single-family home in Austin, Texas. The organization of the house is defined by a 2x5 grid of 12’ square rooms: the living/occupied spaces on one side, the service spaces on the other across a 4’ circulation enfilade, which is capped by sawtooth skylights.
