About Us | Ron Mabry Architects

Ron Mabry was born in Shreveport, Louisiana and attended the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, where he received his Bachelor of Architecture degree. After graduation, Ron moved to Dallas, Texas where he worked for prestigious, design award winning architectural firms, while obtaining his license to practice architecture.

In 1981 Ron returned to his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana where he started his practice, Ron Mabry Architects. RMA relocated to the Tyler/Longview, Texas area in 1991 where he has been providing design services for the last 30-plus years.

Located in the city of Longview, Texas, RMA is a regional practice, providing design services to East Texas, the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex, and Houston Texas areas.

Under Ron’s direction, RMA has received numerous project design awards, recognized by his peers and industry leaders. RMA has also been featured in industry publications, as well as producing published articles.

In addition to architecture, Ron is an artist, with his work being represented in galleries in Key West and St. Augustine, Florida, Taos and Canyon Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico, as well as Dallas and Tyler, Texas. As both architect and artist, Ron interprets his practice through both the eyes of an architect and an artist. We have included an Art Gallery link on our website offering a sampling of his work.

Who We Are

Ron Mabry Architects

We are a diversified professional design firm practicing in the disciplines of architecture, planning, interior design, master planning and project management. Project types represented in our resume and portfolio include commercial business and retail, religious, educational, municipal, recreational, and industrial projects.

In our 40-years plus of knowledge and experience gained from multiple project types, we have learned and continue to learn that each project is different. Although project types may have similar venues and goals, the success of a project is determined by the individual needs of the client, our understanding of those needs, and designing to meet those needs. We are problem solvers.

We practice a ‘client/architect team approach”. We listen, ask questions, and encourage client participation into our project design strategies and delivery approach.

“RMA’s primary goal is to ensure that the client is a significant member of our team. By recognizing the client as a vital design team member, RMA considers the client’s input in the project as a critical part of the design process. RMA’s most important job is to listen to the client’s needs and expectations. Then using our professional experience and expertise, we are able to make the appropriate recommendations and ultimately guide the process along to successful project completion.”

Services

Project Planning

When developing a project requirements program, considerations should be given to current and future client project requirements – ‘master planning’. Developing a master plan is critical in the growth planning of any building project. It is a road map to long term design success for your building project. The master plan is a product of the client’s vision and expectations for both present and future needs.

Architecture

It is our philosophy that each project design stands on its own merits, based on the individual design parameters of our client. RMA’s design approach is a balance of the building site’s characteristics, present and future needs of our client, and the financial parameters of our client “affordability”.

Interior Architecture

RMA’s design approach doesn’t end at the front door of a building. Our project interiors are an integral part of total project design. Ranging from the color pallet to interior finishes, to furniture and accessory procurement, RMA represents an integrated design approach.

OUR CORE VALUES

Client Focus - Understanding our clients' needs and providing services required to identify and meet those needs. "We know how to listen."

Quality design and construction - "Team Work" - The client is part of our design team. This team approach integrates the client's knowledge and understanding of their focus needs alongside our team's design, technical, and construction expertise.

Client Relations - RMA values the relationship that we build with our client throughout the creation and successful completion of the project and strives to maintain that relationship "long term," many years after the project is completed.
