Custom Home up to 3,000 sq. ft.

Texas Hill Country

This home embraces the essence of Texas hill country with a neutral palette and an emphasis on natural materials. Every design decision balances beauty with structural integrity, ensuring that both form and function align seamlessly.

The kitchen reimagines the classic all-white aesthetic with thoughtful details: a custom hood with brass trim adds contrast, open shelving extends to the counters for a grounded feel, and a full-height slab backsplash pairs with darker perimeter countertops to soften the formality.

In the primary bath, a layout shift prioritized function without sacrificing elegance. The original design placed the tub as the focal point, but a redesign allowed for a dedicated makeup vanity—an essential request from the homeowners. This adaptation not only enhanced usability but also became one of the most memorable elements in the home.
