00.E— RT is a Dallas / New York practice working at the intersection of architecture and interiors. We shape clear, considered work from layered contexts and complex constraints. Projects span adaptive reuse and the public realm to ground-up residential, hospitality, and cultural work across rural landscapes and dense urban neighborhoods. What may appear simple is the product of sweat, stacks of sketchbooks, and more than a few sleepless nights, resolving into analysis, precise planning, deliberate detail, and, yes, a happy client.
We work directly with engineers, fabricators, and makers to draw on the expertise that drives every decision, technically, spatially, and materially. When the scope demands it, our work stretches from siting to architecture and interiors to custom furniture, ensuring that each project is fully grounded in context and suspended over time. Regenerative strategies and high-performance criteria aren’t side notes but woven into the design arc from the jump. Each commission is tuned to its setting and to the lives that will unfold there, seeking clarity in daily use and a character that grows richer with time.
And while much of the design world chases whatever trend is loudest that year, we prefer another route. Rather than amplify the noise of beige design trends, we pursue a quieter rigor, spaces that carry their weight over time; in use, in memory, and in place. Design that reflects you. Not Instagram.

Founded in 1975, Unity Manufacturing has grown from a family-run metalworks into a leading national producer of electrical enclosures for commercial and industrial applications. As the company continues to evolve, so has the need for a workspace that reflects its craft, culture, and forward momentum. The renovation serves as both renewal and recalibration, honoring Unity’s legacy while creating a more open, collaborative environment for its next chapter. The design transforms an existing office within the company’s industrial park into a dynamic workplace and showroom that express Unity’s material intelligence. Expansive work areas and a first-of-its-kind showroom celebrate product and process, allowing staff and clients to experience the company’s heritage through the lens of innovation.
All millwork and casework were developed in collaboration with Unity’s in-house fabrication team, reimagining standard electrical enclosures as refined, furniture-grade assemblies, part cabinet, part storage console, crafted with industrial precision. Furniture and lighting selections extend this dialogue between craft and manufacture, recalling the ingenuity of Jean Prouvé and Frank Gehry’s studies of materials and mass production. Finish choices emphasize daylight, non-toxic finishes, and durability, reinforcing a culture of care and continual growth, an architecture grounded in craft, rooted in history, and built for longevity and future evolution.
