Houston, TX, September 27, 2014 --(PR.com)-- By many different measures, Houston is the place to be right now. A Gallup study ranks Houston first among U.S. metros in job creation; construction permitting hit a record high earlier this year; and Forbes has ranked Houston as America’s coolest city. Dallas-based interior architecture firm lauckgroup is capitalizing on the opportunity with a new office led by interior designer Julié Gauthier, IIDA, LEED AP. Gauthier will direct local efforts to expand the firm’s portfolio of corporate interiors for the energy, law, technology, and higher education sectors.

With an increasing demand for Houston Class A office space, lauckgroup is realizing its long-term goal of opening a Houston office. The new office is located in the Galleria area and will serve clients in the Houston region. lauckgroup has grown organically from a firm with one office in Dallas to a second office in Austin, Texas. Clients cite lauckgroup’s mix of practicality and creativity as the drivers behind successful projects; the willingness to push innovation within the interior environment is what draws many of the country’s leading companies to lauckgroup. Clients include Winstead Attorneys, Energy Future Holdings, Reliance Energy, The University of Texas System, Whole Foods Market, Green Mountain Energy, Google and Cirrus Logic.
