OUR STORY

Stay’s worth planning a trip around.

WHO WE ARE

We created DSGN Map with a simple mission – to connect people with place.

It’s simple to book a tour of a public building, but so much more challenging to experience thoughtful residential architecture.

Go beyond the guided tour and discover your next stay with DSGN Map.

OUR GUIDE

“DSGN Map is a collection of incredible vacation homes, crafted by incredible architects and designers, with an incredible story to tell. Each stay offers a unique experience that’s worth planning your entire trip around.”

– Brandon Roellig, Founder

Founded in 2023 in Austin, Texas by Brandon Roellig and his wife, McKensie Roellig, DSGN Map was created with a simple mission – to connect people with place. Brandon’s career as an architect designing places that can be celebrated accompanies his passion for travel, meeting incredible people, and sharing stories.

They’re admittedly obsessive when they book a trip – spending countless hours searching for a stay that not only offers an incredible experience but has a story to tell. After years of searching for places that go beyond a place to stay, Brandon and McKensie decided to build a go-to catalogue of retreats crafted by architects and designers to share with others.

If you’re an architect, designer, creator, traveler, or all of the above – this site is for you. Rather than scrolling through millions of listings and booking platforms, DSGN Map directly connects inspired travelers with the hosts of homes crafted by award-winning architects and designers. Our invite-only collection is a free resource featuring remarkable stays while sharing unique stories from both the hosts and architects.

Browse our collection, book your stay, or reach out to share your own story. We’ll continue to bring you incredible accommodations worth planning a trip around.
