(1942– )
Dail Dixon got his Bachelor of Architecture at Clemson University in 1966 and then earned a Masters of Fine Arts in Sculpture at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1970. He worked for John Latimer in Durham, Leslie Boney in Wilmington, and Cogswell Hausler in Chapel Hill before opening Designworks, a design/build firm in Carrboro with Bob Giddings, Knox Tate, and George Walker Hagans. In 1982, he opened an architecture-only office as Dail Dixon and Associates. With the addition of Ellen Weinstein, it became Dixon Weinstein Architects in 1987. In 2003, Dixon Weinstein was honored with the Outstanding Firm Award from AIANC. Dixon taught studios at the NCSU School of Design, Penland School of Craft, and the Boston Architectural Center. He is sought out for Modernist renovations, such as the Styron and Blythe houses. The firm became Dixon Weinstein Friedlein Architects in 2009. In late 2009, Dixon left to start Dail Dixon FAIA. Dixon is an accomplished artist of one-of-a-kind birdhouses which are included in many private collections and have been displayed at Penland and the Duke University Museum of Art.
One of Dixon's proudest accomplishments is the Bill and Niki Mercer Renovation in Raleigh.
