Travis Price, FAIA
Architect, Contributor
Travis Price is an architect, author, and educator whose work explores the intersection of architecture, ecology, and cultural meaning.
Based in Washington, DC, his practice is recognized for creating homes and buildings that respond to both the physical environment and the deeper narratives of place, drawing from what he describes as a “spirit of place” embedded in each site and client.
Travis Price’s work is grounded in a philosophy that architecture should emerge from a dialogue between nature, culture, and time.
His approach often synthesizes ecology, mythology, and technology into a modern architectural language. Each project reflects both the environmental conditions of its site and the lived experiences of its occupants.
Central to this philosophy is the idea that architecture carries meaning beyond form; that it can shape how people experience space, memory, and connection. His work frequently engages with what he describes as multiple “lenses of time,” balancing permanence and change, stillness and movement, within a single design.
Homes designed by Travis Price are featured within listModern as part of a broader exploration of architect-designed residential properties.
His work reflects many of the principles central to the platform, including authorship, environmental responsiveness, and the role of architecture in shaping how a home is experienced and understood.
Through both featured properties and architectural exploration, his projects contribute to a deeper understanding of how design intent translates into lived space.
