William
Parker is an architect and interior designer, a rare combination of
disciplines which provides clients a greater depth of vision throughout
the interior design process. His focus is interior design and decoration;
his background as an architect makes him especially sensitive to the
envelope that he inherits to decorate.
He is registered as an interior designer
in Texas and is a registered architect in New York and Texas. William
is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin who gained much of
his experience in New York City. His background is a wide range of project
types in both residential and commercial arenas. A valuable phase of
his early career was in the office of Robert A.M. Stern, Architect with
a primary focus on residential home design. He also worked for an extended
period with the international architectural firm Hellmuth, Obata, and
Kassabaum. A long association with Robert Liebreich, Architect in New
York involved interior projects for clients such as Wells, Rich, Greene
ad agency, IMG, and Siemens as well as numerous apartments and country
houses. Prior to his return to Austin in 1990, William spent a year
in Paris, France working on a hotel project adjacent to EuroDisneyland.
Philosophically, Williams belief
is that each project is unique and should reflect the owner's taste
and the architecture. Comfortable and experienced in many styles, he
has produced projects ranging from contemporary to highly decorated
traditional to historically accurate solutions.
Central to our design philosophy is the
absolute necessity of a master plan for furnishing and decorating,
no matter how large or small the project. Through the development of
this plan, projects can progress at whatever pace the client chooses,
with flexible, varying levels of involvement by the design team. The
end result will be planned and deliver against client goals, while remaining
a vital, fluid process throughout
like music.
William has practiced in Austin since
1990 and has completed a variety of projects including residences and
commercial projects.
He is supported by an experienced team
of skilled artisans including draftsmen, illustrators, designers, seamstresses,
installers, contractors, and technology consultants that he has assembled
over the years.
