about
We are a Design + Build firm, based in Austin Texas, we believe in the active collaboration between designer, client, consultant, craftsman and artisans and embrace the challenges of site and budget to inspire highly creative cost-effective solutions.
Each project begins by developing a thorough understanding of the client, their needs, and the site. Once that is established, the project team draws from their experiences in professional practice and in life to create an elegant solution. Clean forms, warm materials, and importance to detail are incorporated from conception and allow for an aesthetic that is thoughtful, intriguing, and ultimately… comfortable.

senior Principal/owner
Dorian’s passion for integrating Mexican contemporary architecture with a minimalistic approach brings a fresh perspective to Austin. His introduction to architecture design began at ISAD University of Architectural Design in his home state of Chihuahua, Mexico, where he acquired his degree and license in architecture. Over the past decade, Dorian has worked all aspects of architecture from design and construction, landscape design to structural engineering. He approaches each project with minimalistic intervention through the use of natural materials, textures, and space. When not working, Dorian can be found exploring his new hometown of Austin. He is especially fond of a good patio with live music and a quality selection of craft beer.

Dorian and the entire Colectivo Creative team were an absolute joy to work with. We had a unique challenge given some atypical elevation in our backyard, but Dorian's creativity prevailed!
He completely nailed it on the first round! He heard everything I wanted and captured the vibe perfectly. And then the build started.
