My practice has primarily focused on new residential design and remodeling. One thing I have learned about the very intimate process of designing a home for someone is that everyone is truly unique. Everyone has something that they are passionate about. Even the most benign person that you might think has the same thing for dinner every night of the year has something that they cherish. It might be their wife, a painting, a dog or a hobby but there is something that brings them home with a smile. Whatever that thing is it very often becomes a focus point for what I do for them. ### Services Provided - Design - Construction and Construction Administration ### Areas Served - New Mexico and Colorado ### Typical Job Cost $100,000 - $2,000,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | bill mackey architect | | Address | PO Box 535, Red River, New Mexico 87558, United States | | Phone | (575) 754-6614 | | Website | http://billmackey.info | | License Number | NM 4549, CO 403046 | | Followers on Houzz | 23 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [bill mackey architect](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/bill-mackey-architect-pfvwus-pf~2047340190) - **Website:** http://billmackey.info - **Phone:** (575) 754-6614 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - NCARB, Registered Architect in New Mexico & Colorado ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 7 reviews** ### All 7 reviews **★★★★★ — palopintodesign, Feb. 2015** > My husband and I worked with Bill to do create a plan for a remodel and addition to a home that had been in our family for many decades. We found Bill's design approach to be creative, thoughtful and insightful. Bill took our vision for the project into consideration and created a concept and finished project that far exceeded our expectations. The result is a warm, beautiful home that relates to the natural surroundings and honors the best of the original structure with a timeless design. > > Bill's designs are beautiful, approachable and attainable. Bill took what is often a stress filled process and instead created a collaboration filled with integrity, respect and creative solutions. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Bill and heartily endorse him to anyone looking for a well-designed home. **★★★★★ — michelemcgeeney, Feb. 2015** > Bill Mackey is an extremely talented architect. He is also a real gentleman and very easy to work with. We had specific desires and ideas which he completely incorporated in the design of our home, but enhanced in many creative ways, and we stayed within budget! We had a small lot that incorporated a pool, with an incredible view of downtown Dallas. Bill put most of our living space on the 2nd floor so the skyline was seen from every room. The house was beautiful, contemporary, clean & crisp, but very warm and livable. **★★★★★ — rrmountaingirl, Feb. 2015** > I hired bill mackey to design and build my cabin in New Mexico. > He was so easy to work with -- I had never built anything else before! > He made it easy, walking me though the process, even being the liaison between > myself and the builder. > Mackey's design was absolutely beautiful -- turning out even more gorgeous than I > could have ever expected. > I highly recommend bill mackey. He has vision, can work with what's in your head, > and turn it into an amazing reality. **★★★★★ — joiner5, Feb. 2015** > My husband and I have used Bill both as an architect for a deck project at our cabin in Red River and also as a project manager to get other remodeling projects completed when we were unable to be there ourselves. He did a wonderful job on the redesign of our large deck and has found and managed responsible and proficient tradesmen that have helped us take care of a major interior updating project. We trust his professionalism and his suggestions to make our ideas turn out better than expected! **★★★★★ — gayle6403, Feb. 2015** > Bill Mackey worked with me on three separate remodeling projects for my home, a 1930s bungalow, in the Lakewood area of Dallas, Texas. The first involved creating an outdoor living space by replacing a window with French doors, designing an overhang, adding a deck, pergola and privacy wall. The second was a complete remodeling of the kitchen and upgrading of the bathroom. The third involved redesigning a front screen porch. All three experiences were delightful, successful collaborations. > > Bill's starting place was to find out exactly what I had in mind. He raised questions, offered design ideas, explored functionality, and explained options about materials and costs. Thanks to Bill's creative talent, these additions and changes fit seamlessly into the existing design of my home. He is thorough and respectful, operates with integrity and, most of all, works creatively as well as collaboratively. Thus the experience of working with him is a pleasure, both personally and professionally. **★★★★★ — johnhardy1, Jan. 2015** > Bill Mackey's architecture both in design and attention to detail are excellent. > He is our architect of choice because of his experience in residential, commercial and public projects > and his extended talent to field management aids in the execution of the plan. > > John Hardy > Elite Homes > Dallas, TX **★★★★★ — jraviolli, Jan. 2015** > Bill & I redid an old mountain log cabin built in l940 in New Mexico. It took awhile almost 2 years and was quite the project start to finish but it turned out amazing. It is quite the showplace of the area now. A loving restoration project really. ## Selected projects - [Dallas Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dallas-remodel-pj-vj~221211) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 9 - Description: This Residence was my client's childhood home. With a major remodeling, that simple fact changes everything when it comes to reflecting on the pieces to remain. Also, the other client is an accomplished interior designer and she influenced the design significantly toward respecting the character of the original family home. - [Runner's House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/runner-s-house-pj-vj~405183) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 8 - Description: This modern residence was constructed in an established traditional neighborhood in Dallas. The clients are a physically active couple who are empty nesters with frequent guests and family. Being outdoors is a significant part of their lives so it made sense to extend the house in all directions with ample windows, doors and a vigorous landscape design. The standing seam metal roof, stucco, aluminum windows and industrial Kallwall panels are modern materials while the overall form respects the n… - [Preston Hollow Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/preston-hollow-residence-pj-vj~405118) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 10 - Description: This residence was conceived to use the entire site. The street is unusually narrow by Dallas standards; consequently the feeling of the street-scape is one of unusual intimacy. Neighbors jog and walk their dogs, they stop to chat and, fortunately, cars have a subservient relationship with the neighborhood and carefully work their way through the few short blocks. The front yard is a parking court open to the street with a carefully crafted space of crushed granite, stone paving and glass garage… - [Poet Laureate Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/poet-laureate-cabin-pj-vj~405076) - Location: Red River, NM - Photos: 6 - Description: The cabin is an addition to a hundred year old cabin in a resort town. The original cabin is very low slung along the river that separates it from the town. The clients wanted a separate cabin with modern conveniences and privacy. The site is part of a nature trail that allows frequent de facto trespassers to cross the site. The cabin spaces were conceived more vertical than the existing cabin to gain privacy from the activity along the river and also views over the river willows into the adjace… - [Red River Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/red-river-cabin-pj-vj~405033) - Location: Red River, NM - Photos: 9 - Description: This cabin is a family heirloom. Built in the upper valley of Red River it was originally used strictly as a summer home. The client spent most of her childhood summers there in the meadow and river bottom below. The plan was to make the cabin functional in the winter and update the kitchen and bath to make it more comfortable for adults. The addition was built with much bigger logs to give it a more substantial presence and provide more significant insulation values.
