Albert Buchanan Skiles has practiced as a licensed architect in Arkansas since 1981, building
a diverse body of designs that feature natural materials, relationship with the landscape and
open plans. Graduating from the University of Texas School of Architecture with Honors, he
moved to Arkansas in 1972. His craft is firmly rooted in an understanding of construction and
vernacular precedent, while emphasizing the importance of strong relationships of architect,
client and builder, By working "hands-on" at the site and building his own homes, he
established a firm knowledge of construction and much experience with energy efficient and
solar design. The fine art of craftsmanship is incorporated into every building he designs and is
visible in the details, be it a custom railing, custom front door or an art glass window, a detail
that personalizes home. Albert is a member of the Historic Preservation Alliance of Arkansas
and his work has been featured in a variety of publications, including Southern Living, Popular
Science, Journal of the AIA, Landscape Architecture, Garden Design, Cityscapes and At Home
in Arkansas. He has designed over 200 new buildings, restorations and renovations in Arkansas,
Missouri and Texas.
