E      —RT is a Dallas based architecture and interiors practice.  We design homes, hospitality spaces, adaptive reuse projects, and places that feel rooted in their surroundings and shaped by the people who use them.

Every project starts the same way, by listening.  We spend time understanding the site, the building, the people, and the constraints before putting pen to paper.  The goal isn't to impose an idea.  It's to uncover the one that already belongs.

We work closely with engineers, fabricators, contractors, and craftspeople from the beginning, making sure ideas hold up as well in construction as they do on paper.   Depending on the project, that can mean shaping everything from the building itself to the interiors, furniture, lighting, and the details that make a place feel soulful.

We care about buildings that age well.  Regenerative strategies and thoughtful material choices aren't an afterthought.  They're integral to the design process from the very beginning.

Under Construction

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.
