Turner Duran Architects, LP traces its origin to 1984, when Greg Turner left the world of corporate practice to found his own firm in Houston. At the beginning of 2010, Jack Duran ascended to the status of name partner in the firm. For over a quarter century, Turner Duran and its predecessors have seen consistent, manageable growth as the firm focused on projects for institutional and corporate clients. Today the firm still maintains its focus in these same areas, as well as on basic architectural services; moreover, the firm has grown to handle projects ranging from under one million dollars in construction cost into the tens of millions.
Our Service Philosophy
Tradition. We believe that architects should fulfill their historic role in leading the entire project team toward the delivery to the client of quality in design, documentation, and communication.
Technology. We must also bring knowledge and skills in current technologies, whether related to construction systems or electronic building information modeling, to the benefit of the client and project.
Green Buildings. In accordance with the traditional American value of ”waste not, want not,” we incorporate energy saving and environmentally sound design concepts in all our projects. As a LEED accredited firm, we can also spearhead the certification process.
