Who We Are

Michael D. Barham Architects, Inc. was established in 1982 under the direction of Michael D. Barham and our sister company Barham Architects, LLC, was established in 2008 under the direction of Laurie B. Barham.
Barham Architects, LLC received State of Texas HUB certification (Historically Underutilized Business) in September of 2008. Our Lead Architect, Michael D. Barham, has over 28 years experience as a Principal Architect.

Barham Architects is geared to be competitive and effective for any size and scope of project with an emphasis on client satisfaction, quality service, and exceptional design. Our goal with every project is to serve our clients and our community by creating environments where people can excel. Whether we are designing an academic building, an office, religious facility or medical facility, we are always mindful of how our buildings can enrich the lives of the users. From corporate and municipal facility planning and design, academic facility design, hospitals and various medical complexes to custom single-family residences and historic renovation, our commitment to excellence remains the underlying principle of our practice. These projects have ranged from small renovations and upgrades to major additions and stand-alone facilities. The firm has also assisted clients in development of master plans which served to direct that client’s response to growth for the coming years.

Barham Architects offers integrated services including conceptual pre-design and planning, architectural and engineering design, interior design, materials selection and specification writing, ADA/TAS compliance reviews, and energy code reviews. Unlike many firms offering standardized solutions, we develop unique solutions for each client by relying on our knowledge, experience, and expertise gained from similar challenges, coupled with a focus on the client’s specific needs. Our goal is to combine our experience and expertise with the client’s vision and requirements to produce aesthetically attractive and efficiently functioning facilities. As a result of our emphasis on client satisfaction, we benefit through referrals and repeat business.

I have had the privilege to work first hand with Barham Architects for three years on projects for our district.  During that time, they have exhibited professionalism, integrity, competence, pride, and punctuality in each phase of the project.

Barham Architects is organized, meticulous in their preparation, and work hard not only to do things right, but to do the right thing.  They accept responsibility readily and are willing to spend the extra time needed to ensure quality and success.  Their character, principles, and integrity are unwavering.  Simply put, they will do what they say and will strive to deliver the quality that any taxpayer expects.

I want to formally thank you for the architectural and design services that you provided to the Northeast Texas Public Health District.  You were selected to provide the architectural services for our major renovation project at 815 North Broadway, Tyler, TX,  based on your past work with the Health District, your excellent responses to our Request for Proposal and your outstanding references.  Never in our process did we ever doubt that we had made the right choice!

As a result of your planning and your ongoing support, our project has exceeded all of our expectations, and we now have a building that should last for many years.

I highly recommend the Architectural Firm of Barham Architects to provide A & E services.  They have successfully demonstrated the ability to not only listen to the needs of a client, but interpret their needs into cost effective solutions.  They have also shown they have the ability to produce and excellent set of construction documents under challenging schedules.
