DUVALL DECKER
an expanded practice

Duvall Decker is an expanded architectural practice located in Jackson, Mississippi that provides architectural, planning, real estate development and facility maintenance services. The firm was founded in 1998 by Roy T. Decker, FAIA and Anne Marie Decker, FAIA. Anne Marie and Roy bring varied and complementary interests and abilities to a practice dedicated to the creation of forms and environments that enrich the lives of those who encounter and inhabit them. They accomplish this work with the help of a talented and dedicated team of architects, planners, maintenance professionals, and support staff. The expanded studio-based practice affords the firm the ability to unite architectural design, community planning, real estate development, and facility management. We see this group of endeavors as an integration and expansion of the creative work required to make and maintain meaningful environments. We design, plan, develop, and care for built environments to leverage the best of human endeavors and foster education and cultural growth.

Because the character of the built environment matters to our health and well-being, Duvall Decker designs with hopeful speculation to create architecture that is durable in material and memory. We plan for diverse, healthy, and community-centered growth. We develop with civic-minded innovation, and we leverage our experience to care for buildings over time.
