Residential architecture on a first name basis

From a young age, André was introduced to the world of architecture by his father who not only encouraged him to write and draw like an architect, but to think like an architect. André graduated with honors from The University of Houston College of Architecture in 2005. During his final year of school, he was introduced to Reagan Miller, for whom he would create physical models of homes that Reagan would craft. Immediately after graduating he had the privilege to work under Reagan’s leadership. This opportunity would lead to their partnership in 2013. In the fifteen years they worked together Reagan taught him how to become a “full Architect”. He learned that without the client, there is no architecture. It is the client’s heart and perspective that brings life to the home and depth to its character. With the sudden loss of his mentor, friend, and companion, André was handed the torch to continue the legacy that Reagan left behind – to design and above all, care.

You were a gentle, kind, fearless leader that took us under your wings, mentored us, and shared your love for life and architecture. You brought us immeasurable joy and gave us the confidence and tools we need to create. As we see our path forward, we find ourselves knowing you will always be with us, in spirit and through André. We will stay the course, both because of your teachings and in awe of your legacy.

Maggie White, a Registered Dietitian, left the field of dietetics to become the Office Manager for Reagan & André Architecture Studio in early 2019.  She considers herself a local Houstonian (although not a direct path) and graduated from the University of Houston.  As an office manager, Maggie is responsible for making things flow effortlessly, but her favorite part of being on the Reagan & André team is the opportunity to build and nurture relationships with her team of architects, the clients, the vendors, and learning about the fascinating world of architecture. When not coordinating the busy office of eight creatives, Maggie focuses on her family, the outdoors, cooking, and her love of animals.

Joel, a native Houstonian, has always had a strong admiration for the skill and creativity used by architects, this admiration led him to Texas Tech University where he received both his Bachelor’s and Masters of Architecture in 2004 and 2006 respectively. Before joining Reagan & André Architecture in 2014, Joel spent the early portion of his career working at another leading traditional residential firm in Houston where he developed a strong educational foundation in classical and traditional architecture. His experience includes both the design and management for various remodels and additions to historic Houston residences, as well as new residential projects.

While working on the design and implementation of traditional architectural guidelines at Reagan & André Architecture, the idea of family and design to the personality of the client was strongly emphasized in all aspects of a project. This concept has opened up a new avenue and appreciation for Joel in his architectural education and career.
