Waffles are always a good idea, especially when they’re made by our very own Partner & Principal, Andrew Bennett! The Bennett Waffle Bar was a delicious addition to Friday's Breakfast Club. What a perfect way to catch up, celebrate a productive week, and head into the weekend!

Straight up! A few BOKA Powell team members took a ride to the top during a recent site visit to one of our favorite downtown Dallas projects. There is nothing like seeing the work come together in person; it's a great reminder of why we love what we do.

Celebrating Our Summer Interns!
As summer wraps up, we want to give a massive shoutout to the incredible architecture and interior design interns who joined BOKA Powell this season!
Our interns jumped straight into the action, gaining true hands-on industry experience.
Over the last few months, they:
~ Toured Active Sites: Saw designs come to life during construction visits.
~ Collaborated in Studio: Partnered with senior teams on real client projects.
~ Shared Office Fun: Bonded through material library sessions, lunch-n-learns, and company extracurriculars.
Thank you for your hard work and fresh perspectives. We can’t wait to see how you shape the future of design!
