The maker

The same hands that pour the concrete.

I’m Dorian Dégagé. I design and build the ecological infrastructure on this page myself, in San Antonio — water that moves, stone that holds, soil that comes back alive. From the idea to the ground, no one else touches it.

The Premise

We were built for a world we stopped living in.

The body was tuned to a living world — moving water, real light, soil, the sound of things growing. Most built environments strip that out, and we treat the symptoms one at a time. My work puts those conditions back into land, water, sound, and design — and I built a way to measure them: the Sensorial Performance Score.

Building something that should outlast you?

Noon takes on a small number of design-build projects each year across San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country — fountains, moving water, native ground, whole properties. If that's the kind of thing you're after, say so.
