More About DEMX Architecture:

As a design-focused architecture firm in Fayetteville, Arkansas, DEMX Architecture was founded by Tim de Noble, former department head of the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design, and our managing principal, Tim Maddox, AIA. 

We were founded with a belief that vernacular building types are those from which we could learn our greatest lessons. These buildings – such as barns, sheds, silos, and local houses – each exhibit our most essential responses to the environment with context and function as priority. They are not built with style or prestige in mind, and therefore they age with grace, gaining value over time, and do not reflect trends or other dated values. 

Our other inspiration is modernism, which is dependent on the ideals of material production and assembly. Like vernacularism, modernism was absent of an architectural style and the market forces that drove those styles. It focused on appropriate and efficient material use, and a designed response to its site. 

Combining these two approaches allow us to pursue sustainable practices rooted in efficiency, appropriate material choices, and contextual response. We strive to make efficient, rational decisions that are not dictated by style, and it’s our belief that an architecture of dignity emerges from these ideals.
