“When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'See! This our fathers did for us.”

John Ruskin

About


Hi - I’m Joel Moore, principal architect, fifteen year plus veteran in the construction and architecture industry, and the founder of the Wrought Substance Design Studios team. 

Born from years of learning from local DFW legends like Hull Historical’s Brent Hull, Fuqua Architects’ Wilson Fuqua, and Justin Seitz of Seitz Design, Wrought Substance Design Studios combines all of the knowledge, techniques, and flourishes and fuses them with our expertise with traditional architecture, ornamentations, furnishings, and foundational structure that brings all of them together. 

Whether through new constructions or renovations of the past’s beauty, Wrought Substance Design Studios meets clients’ desires, laying stones and stairs that will both stand the test of time and be a source of delight for you and your family. Here, we do not just make; we sculpt. 

Join us! Become a creative collaborator, and watch your dream move from paper to completion.
