Bentley Tibbs is an award-winning residential architect based in Dallas, Texas, specializing in modern architecture, custom homes, and refined renovations. With over three decades of experience, his work spans modern homes in Dallas, contemporary ranch houses in East Texas, and bespoke residences in New York City, including Manhattan and Brooklyn.

He has completed more than 50 ground-up homes and an equal number of renovations, each shaped by a highly personal, client-driven process. Bentley approaches architecture as a conversation. Every project begins with understanding how his clients live, what they value, and what they want their home to hold. From there, he designs spaces that are intentional, enduring, and deeply connected to the people who inhabit them.

While rooted in modernism, Bentley’s work is known for its warmth and depth. He moves away from stark minimalism, instead layering materials, light, and proportion to create homes that feel both elevated and lived in. His approach has earned recognition in publications including D Home and has positioned him as a leading modern architect in Dallas and beyond.

Bentley continues to expand his practice across Texas and into New York, working on projects ranging from large-scale modern ranch homes to urban townhouse and apartment renovations. His clients are often drawn to a quieter kind of luxury — one that values detail, restraint, and a strong sense of place.
