ABOUT WILLSON + WILLSON ARCHITECTS

We are a small, full service architectural firm established in 1990, combining the architectural and graphic design skills of Patricia D. Willson, with the architecture, engineering, and construction expertise of Richard D. Willson. With a strong emphasis on service, our work includes residential, commercial, hospitality and resort architecture; specializing in design for mountain environments.

Our project types vary widely: one year’s work ranged from a 400 SF screenhouse to a 12,000 SF airplane hangar. Much of our work has a similar sense of contextual style. Many of our mountain residences share pitched roofs, deep overhangs and portals; a direct response to the issues of site and climate.

We live and work in New Mexico. The majority of our work is up north in Taos County; we also have projects in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Tijeras and Jemez Springs.
 Our office is located in Albuquerque, in the University/Nob Hill area. Our home was built in 1947; a small, frame-stucco, 1,000 s.f. box. Over the years we have added on and remodeled, turning our home/office into a living laboratory–giving clients the opportunity to see certain spatial and mechanical concepts firsthand.

Whether it’s a house or an airplane hangar, the money spent on the architectural fees represents a small portion of the total spent on the project.

Many of our clients are repeat clients or word-of-mouth referrals.
