The Architecture Happy Hour is an informal and entertaining podcast started in 2009 hosted by hpd architecture + interiors principals, Laura Davis and Holly Hall.

From the very beginning we wanted the podcast to feel like you were sitting down with friends to chat about architecture and home design.” shares Davis. “And if you happen to have a cocktail in your hand, even better.”

Davis and Hall enjoy interviewing special guests to share their thoughts and tips on architecture and interior design. Their intent is to help homeowners and those involved in home projects make decisions more easily.

We think of our listeners as friends, clients, and colleagues. Laura and I share our own experiences from real projects and pass on tips from lessons we’ve learned. We want to know what is important to our listeners so we can be a friendly resource.” says Hall.

Architecture Happy Hour Podcast

Awesome Podcast 
Unlike all of the other architecture-related podcasts, this one is very personable and I feel like I’ve known the two hosts for years. I really appreciate the casual and thoughtful conversation that doesn’t feel like I’m tuning into another lecture series. — Mar786447

Fun and Informing
They give a lot of useful information about how to get your foot in the door and use your skills to be successful in the design and architecture world. The chat is fun and informative. You get a good feeling for who they are, and their motivation for doing this project. — DTanner84101

Architecture made easy
Laura and Larry do a fantastic job of breaking down the complex world of architecture into understandable chunks sprinkled with valuable bits of information that is useful to everyone from the weekend home remodeler to a practicing architect. — npann

Excellent and Informative Podcast
I met Larry at the actual Happy Hour event yesterday and have spent the workday today burning through the podcasts. They do a great job describing architecture and design without the ego, but with lots of fun and laughs. Their passion for architecture makes for a great listen and a very informative podcast. — TimHair

Instagram post 2192397589064475228_19441422 #TBT The Ahab Bowen house is located in the Uptown, Vineyard/Quadrangle area of Dallas. It is significant as one of the oldest buildings in the city, and one of the few remaining folk Victorian dwellings. Built in 1874, it is a vernacular dwelling of the mid-Victorian period. It was altered in both 1900 and 1976. The home has been lovingly maintained and retains much of its integrity.

The surrounding area was developed during the 1880s-1890s. The residences of the period were one-story cottages or two-story residences made of brick or stone. The surviving buildings are surrounded by commercial and modern multi-family buildings dating from the 20th century.

On #TBT we are featuring some of Dallas County’s unique residential architecture that have earned their prestigious spot on the Texas Historic Landmarks record.

Instagram post 2187251029358326041_19441422 #TBT This Swiss Avenue neighborhood lot was home to Robert and Marie Stubbs and their two children. Robert was originally from Mississippi and moved to Dallas in 1897 to establish a paving business with his father. Marie⁣
was from Berlin, Germany. ⁣
⁣
Constructed in 1926, it reflected a popular Tudor style with its pitched roof, half-timbered gables, notable chimneys and low-pointed arch entries. Robert sadly passed one year after construction was complete, but Marie continued to live and entertain there until 1940. The home was converted to apartments at one time, but returned to single-family use in the 1970’s.⁣

Instagram post 2182176954576577738_19441422 #TBT This Swiss Avenue home was rightly the nucleus of the “Wilson Block.” When Dallas businessman Frederick P. Wilson and his wife Henrietta Frichot Wilson acquired the site in 1899, they not only built their house, but six others as rental homes which were then occupied by many of Dallas’ prominent leaders. ⁣
⁣
This section of the neighborhood features Victorian and Queen Anne architectural influences of clapboard siding, decorative shingle patters, gabled roofs and detailed ornamentation. This area of Swiss Avenue has a rich heritage and the history of our great city has deep⁣
roots here.⁣

Instagram post 2177102524972412581_19441422 #TBT This Cochran Heights home was designed by Charles Stevens Dilbeck, a builder and lumberman. Dilbeck designed more than 630 houses in Dallas primarily in Lakewood, Preston Hollow, North Oak Cliff and the Park Cities neighborhoods. ⁣
⁣
His signature style was asymmetrical facades, chimney details, dovecotes, turrets and various combinations of roof forms and heights. He was known for his techniques to give an “aged” look to brick and wood, and often incorporated⁣
salvaged materials and local craftsmen’s work.⁣
