Paul Gaddis

Paul Gaddis ~ Study Butte, Texas
Paul Gaddis was born and raised in the Big Bend and resides just a few miles from Lajitas. He graduated from The University of Texas School of Architecture and has since worked on various projects, ranging from Whole Foods Markets to golf course buildings to a number of desert-style houses around the Big Bend area. Paul has been self employed since 1994 in custom residential design and construction. As a residential architect, his highest priority is to create the spaces you want that reflect your lifestyle, while intimately wedding it to the surrounding land. With his extensive knowledge of the topography in and around Lajitas, Paul knows how important it is to incorporate desert style elements into the design, such as shade and a campfire setting for stargazing and outdoor entertaining. Lajitas has a climate that encourages outdoor living as long as different spaces are created to reflect the mood.
