Rachel DeBacker has more than 14 years’ experience practicing
architecture. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the
University of Virginia, where she was a member of the first Solar
Decathlon team, and an M. Arch from the University of Texas at Austin,
where her studios took her from Texas to Zurich to India. In 2016, she
was the only solo architect to be selected to design a structure for
the Cheekwood International Playhouse exhibit in Nashville, Tennessee.
Rachel is pleased to be designing houses because she truly believes
that our home environments shape our lives. She believes that both
form and function are what makes a house shine and that good design
doesn't have to be expensive.
