What We Are.

The firm was started in 2020 by Terrence Newton, AIA as an engine to provide a highly collaborative environment between the Architect, Owner, Contractor, and the Trades. NEWTON Architecture is a full service architecture firm with over 35 years of combined experience in the design profession. We provide ground up, renovation, and interior design services to both commercial and residential clients, and are especially adept at creating original solutions in difficult and unique projects.

Who We Are.

Terrence Newton has always enjoyed architecture. This love of the built environment started as he moved around the country and the world during his father’s service in the Air Force. He continued that love of architecture and travel while serving in the Navy with the Navy’s Construction Battalions (SeaBees). He earned his Bachelor’s of Environmental Design from Texas A&M in 1994 and his Masters of Architecture from the University of Houston in 2011. That same year opportunity allowed his family to move to Austin, Texas. Over his carrier he has worked in both large and small firms as a designer, manager, director, and mentor. He is a registered Architect, Interior Designer, and is LEED qualified.

Michael Pennington brings over 25 years of experience in interior architecture and design to his role as Managing Director.  Michael has expertise in merging great design with careful technical leadership across a variety of project types including commercial, healthcare, education, aviation, and retail.  A true problem solver, he offers the ideal balance of inventiveness and pragmatism needed to overcome the most difficult design and delivery challenges. His work has received numerous awards, and he is a frequent contributor to publications and local industry discussions on the subject of workplace strategy and innovation. When not in the office, Michael is a volunteer first responder with Texas Search and Rescue with specialized training in ground search operations, incident management, and swift water rescue.

What We Believe.

We adamantly believe that it’s the client’s vision and goals that need to be expressed in every project. Every project is unique to reflect the client’s personality. We guide and lead the entire team, which includes the client, consultants, contractors, and trades, in bringing forth the client’s vision in the most creative way. We also believe that a restrictive budget, local, or schedule does not hinder a project nor limits its potential, but rather those restrictions force a smart, creative, and cost effective solution.

How We Work.

We strive to provide an enjoyable, relaxed, and highly tailored and personalized experience to each of our clients. There are no egos in the room! We provide the correct design solution only after meeting with the client often and continuously to ensure that the client’s vision and goals are not only met but are exceeded. We believe this continual care ensures a project is unique, innovative, and cost effective.
