Over the past 25 years, Larry S. Davis has become one of Houston’s most respected designers. After graduating from the University of Houston School of Architecture in 1975, he traveled around the world for nearly two years, studying all styles of architecture. After completing an internship at a Parisian architectural firm, he established his design business in Houston. Davis’s initial projects were the construction and renovation of custom multi-million-dollar homes for clients in Houston’s best neighborhoods, including River Oaks, Southhampton, and Memorial. He has been published in more than 30 local, national and international publications.
In 1989, Davis was honored by the AIA for his interior remodeling of a 1938 home designed by the late Houston architect Karl Kamrath. In 1990, he received acclaim for his renovation and addition to a 1925 John Staub home. In 1991, Davis participated in the Quinta Mostra Internazionale di Architettura, “Una Porta per Venezia” at the Biennale di Venezia. In 1995, Davis completed the renovation of a 1922 William Ward Watkin home in the museum district, nearly doubling the living space while retaining the structural integrity of the design.
With his associate Alberto Gardino in Milan, Davis has designed, among other projects, retail interiors that include the Madison Avenue store Agnona, a cashmere fashion house, and a shoe boutique in Houston. And recently, when the University of Houston School of Architecture celebrated its 50th anniversary by honoring 50 of its 2,300 graduates, Davis was among them.
