Selected Quotes:   

"The Architect's effort has a significance beyond the campus, for Price is demonstrating what might be called an architecture of "reformed modernism.".... Although definitely contemporary in look and feel, these interiors are insistently metaphorical---and all the metaphors, unlike those of the old, "pure" modernism, are totally intended. It is an interesting brew, rich in potential....”

- Benjamin Forgey - The Washington Post

"...The Thompson house is one of the best examples to date of the way modern architecture is reasserting itself in the local landscape."  

- Edward Gunts - The Baltimore Sun

"A cross-cultural cabin whose shape is exotic to us, yet still familiar...On top of the highest ridges in the Appalachian Mountains, this house is rooted in the soil of two worlds. A country shack, a Buddhist temple and a cube were the images Price kept in mind as he designed this retreat for a couple devoted to meditation and hiking...”

- Julie Iovine - Metropolitan Home Magazine

"...Price's work is not a literal rendering of Japanese architecture, he uses imaginative ways to embrace its philosophical core, making the inside and outside one. At the same time, he draws on sophisticated technologies to make all his structures energy efficient. ...Price puts into his buildings three main elements that he calls 'sunshine, temples and highways'... he wants a sense of timeliness (nature), timelessness (temples) and timefulness (highways) colliding harmoniously."

- Jean Mahoney, Peggy Rao - Nature On View   

“The design process began with a discussion of the facts…the living areas, simple and sparsely furnished, capture nature through windows so large that they nearly blur the distinction between indoors and out…It's minimalism with a soul."  

- House Beautiful

"Price has seen several waves of architectural trends break and ebb, including postmodernism...and, more recently, deconstructivism…Neither has seduced him. Instead, he borrows liberally from these and other genres, creating light-suffused, idiosyncratic houses for clients who are not afraid to be different."     

- Mark Baechtel - Mid Atlantic Magazine

“…Pioneering architects and designers are going back to the earth with what critic Vincent Scully calls a 'reverent appreciation for the political landscape.'…'Such a sustainable world architecture,' says Christopher Alexander, may represent the pursuit of a 'spiritual purity of maker and artifact'…Mr. Price designs in both the spiritual and material worlds."

- Timothy Jack Ward - The New York Times

”All of Travis Price’s works are anchored in his signature architectural trinity,  - Sunshine, Highways, and Temples -, … Clients are constantly looking for a senses of nature, says Price.  That’s the first lens – Sunshine.  They’re always looking for something that sets them out of temporal time, like a Zen garden or a Greco Column, Temples.  The third lens is that we are totally addicted to frenetic change, Highways.“

- Virginia Myers Kelly - Home & Design

"Travis Price did a bang up job conducting a lesson in creative circumspection... the owners will spend 70 percent less on energy than they would have for a conventional building of the same size.”

Benjamin Forgey - The Washington Post

"...Price labels his architectural style 'emotional modernism' because it challenges accepted modernist approaches and delivers content with meaning specific to the client."

- Susan Stiles Dowel - The Washington Post
