Russ Mackensen
Owner/Architect
AR13652
My architectural career began in Santa Barbara, California, in 1979. Since that time, I’ve created both residential and commercial projects in Austin, TX, Naples, FL, Pagosa Springs, CO, Gold Canyon, AZ, and Dallas, TX. In addition, I’ve remodeled hundreds of homes.
Living and working in a variety of communities and environments allowed the opportunity to design traditional to ultra-contemporary and everything in-between. I’m proud of the diverse range of projects I’ve worked on over my forty-six plus years of design services.
My wife and I recently moved to St. Augustine, Florida. Along with enjoying the beauty of St. Johns County, I hope to continue to serve clients with my personal attention.
Enjoy viewing a small representation of my many years of architectural design.

“Our home has several designed features by Russ. I don’t believe there will be another home built like it! We have received numerous compliments on the design and the manner in which the house fits on the lot by contractors, developers, real estate people, and others in our community.”

“There are so many special features included which we attribute to an experienced architect willing to help us get what we wanted. It still amazes me that Russ was so knowledgeable about materials, equipment, and how to achieve the look that seems just right.”
