ABOUT TEKNEEK
RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL DESIGN
That improves people’s lives and draws our community together.
Serving Bend, Redmond, Madras and Central Oregon.
LARRY WRIGHT
Founder & Principle Architect, Redmond OR
I started Tekneek Architecture 15 years ago because I was tired of seeing client’s real, underlying needs not being met, despite large invoices being sent out.
I wanted to do a better job of serving the needs of businesses and families in my community.
We moved from Bend to Redmond in 2019, so we’d be better positioned to serve the unique needs of Central Oregon’s rural communities that our staff relates to at a root level.
MEET THE TEAM
LARRY WRIGHT
FOUNDER AND ARCHITECT +
Larry created Tekneek Architecture because he loves helping people create beautiful buildings that solve problems. He also loves a good challenge.
Good design is a universal language that spans all forms of the built environment, from graphic design to urban planning. Understanding our life experience and making it better is a blast.
His idea of success is empowering other business owners with buildings that succeed in life and business alike. Part of this paradigm is being budget friendly, using off the shelf materials in creative ways, breaking the rules and shifting ordinary in ways that make one say…huh, that’s intriguing!
Unlike most, Larry would rather spend his weekends in his shop working on projects. Design is universal…from furniture to hot rods, variety keeps his mind intrigued and able to cross-pollinate ideas between industries. When his wife insists on using vacation time, he loves spending a long weekend exploring the urban fabric of “small town USA” and what makes them tick.
HEATHER FERGUSON
PERMIT TECH & RENDERING +
Heather is our South African American “Reviter”. She has been a part of the team for 2 years in Central Oregon and recently moved to Singapore where she will be assisting the team remotely. Her love for art, technology and problem solving drew her to drafting.
“I really love bringing 2D design to life in a 3D model. We at Tekneek have a wonderful team of specialists and I’m so grateful to be a part of it”
ERIC HOBBLE
DESIGN PROFESSIONAL +
Taking projects from napkin sketch to occupancy, Eric is involved with every detail of the project. Years of carpentry lead to pursuing architecture as a profession.
After completing an Associate’s degree of Drafting and Design at Central Oregon Community College Eric worked at Bend design group, Walker structural Engineering and Lenity Architecture before joining the team at Tekneek Architecture.
The positive can-do attitude Eric brings to every project is a big part of his success. Personal passions include being a father to his two kids and enjoying everything the Central Oregon outdoors has to offer.
KIM WRIGHT
BOOKKEEPING +
Kim helps the Tekneek office with Human resource needs as well as general billing and bookkeeping work on an as needed basis.
DYLAN GUERNESY
DESIGN PROFESSIONAL +
Born and raised in Bend, Oregon, Dylan’s passion for architecture started in high school where he took engineering and architectural design classes. At community college, he obtained a certificate in drafting which really sparked it all. Later, he pursued a degree in architecture at the University of Oregon.
Dylan has a strong passion for making good design through a design process that begins with rigorous iterations of drawings, schematic ideations and collaboration with the team in order to find the best solution.
“Good design comes from a designer who is sympathetic for all walks of life. Creating spaces that fit both the client and community’s needs and values is such a rewarding feeling. I seek to make a great impact on the built environment and leave it better than I found it. It is a privilege to make an impact in the community I grew up in.”
When Dylan is not in the office, he is spending time planning the next big trip in the great outdoors.

OUR TECHNIQUE
The architecture we create is the the technique of merging many highly technical elements in a way that feels simple and pleasing in how we experience them.
Like our name TEKNEEK, our approach to architecture is surprisingly simple and intuitive—
From aesthetic to function to flow, every element of a design should make sense from any angle.
At Tekneek we are passionate about creating spaces that contribute to the health and vibrancy of the community we live in.
We not only embrace the needs of the people that work or live in a building, but we seek to embellish their brand and day-to-day life with thoughtfully designed environments.
