TruexCullins Architecture + Interior Design

Based in Burlington, Vermont, TruexCullins Architecture + Interior Design builds commercial, hospitality, and residential projects characterized by graphic exterior reveals, continuous ribbon glazing tucked beneath eave lines, and atmospheric interior lighting that projects organic shadows onto integrated feature walls. This portfolio serves as a practical precedent when embedding digital screens flush into lounge media walls, detailing custom tree-canopy light fixtures over fireplace surrounds, or calibrating window depth on high-contrast panel facades.
