About

Specht Novak was founded on the vision of creating elegant, comfortable, and timeless buildings that are rooted in the unique environments in which they exist and shaped by the character of the people who will inhabit them.

Over the past 30 years, Specht Novak, led by founding partner Scott Specht and partner Jakeb Novak, has built a reputation as a forward thinking, award-winning, modern architecture firm with a strong philosophy regarding the importance of craftsmanship, detailing, and client service.

The firm’s work has been featured in over 250 publications worldwide including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Architectural Digest, and Forbes. Recognized by Architizer as one of the “100 Best Architecture and Design Firms in the United States,” the firm has also received numerous honors including awards from the American Institute of Architects, Texas Society of Architects, and Luxe. Architectural Record has also recognized their Preston Hollow Residence as a “Record House.” Additionally, the partners are frequently featured on podcasts, television shows, lectures (including TEDx), and other media outlets as thought leaders on the future of residential design.
