The Studio

Bercy Fadel is a vertically integrated architecture and construction firm based in Austin, Texas, working across multifamily and single-family residential, master planning, and commercial development. The practice is grounded in the belief that architecture is inseparable from place—shaped by climate, materiality, landscape, and regional culture—and that meaningful design elevates everyday living at every scale.

Emerging from the legacy of Bercy Chen Studio, the firm builds upon a rigorously design-driven foundation established by its principals, Thomas Bercy and Bethany Fadel, AIA. That lineage reflects a collaborative, research-based approach in which architecture, urbanism, and development strategy are deeply intertwined. From dense, transit-oriented housing to bespoke private residences and complex mixed-use environments, the firm approaches each project as an opportunity to respond precisely to site conditions while contributing to a broader architectural and urban context.

Led by Bercy and Fadel, the studio integrates internationally recognized architectural design with disciplined development and construction management. With over 50 years of combined experience, the firm’s work balances craft and performance—prioritizing long-term sustainability, material integrity, and spatial quality alongside financial and operational rigor. Across typologies and scales, Bercy Fadel is committed to creating architecture that is both regionally rooted and enduring, enhancing how people live, work, and engage with their environments.
