This stunning home has a spacious patio, perfect for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. With its contemporary landscape design, the property exudes elegance and style. The concrete landings with steps add a touch of sophistication, while the landscape lighting enhances the overall ambiance. This progress before and after photo showcases the transformation of the property, highlighting its modern and inviting appeal. Work in progress - The design we developed for this home in the Texas Hill Country focuses on creating a series of terraced entertaining spaces integrated into the natural slope of the backyard. Features include an outdoor kitchen, lagoon style pool with swim-up bar, fireplace, native gardens, and walkways. The patios and pools have been completed. Next is the outdoor kitchen. Stay tuned! These captivating images showcase a grand building accentuated by an exceptional landscape. The architectural marvel exudes a sense of timeless elegance, while creating a sacred space for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' community. The surrounding landscape design is meticulously crafted, featuring an array of 20,000 shrubs and 400 trees that create a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. With its unique and unparalleled charm, this one-of-a-kind space offers endless possibilities for both aesthetic enjoyment and functional use. We purchased this building a year ago and have completely renovated it since then. The exterior facelift consists of a new parking lot with accessible ramps, low maintenance and native plant material, new signage, and exterior paint upgrades. Thank you to our amazing team members, clients, and friends who helped to make this dream a reality. A former elementary school and grounds are being transformed into a place of fun, learning, physical fitness, and social services. The elementary school was shuttered several years ago. It is now being reimagined as the newest Boys and Girls Club center. Outdoor learning and social spaces are being integrated into the existing structure. Learning labs, and spaces for the fine arts, are combined with counseling and food services for a complete physical and educational program. A reimagined park space includes improved play, basketball, walking, outdoor learning, schoolyard forest, and flag football elements. Revamped parking, walkways, and signage add to the overall guest experience. We applaud the Boys and Girls Club for having the vision to provide their services to an underserved portion of the city, as well as, focusing on sustainability by adaptively reusing a former elementary school site. "Hook 'em Horns" y'all!. A former service station has been transformed into a mixed-use development that houses an admissions center for The University of Texas at Austin. The evergreen landscape palette focuses the eye on the orange building accents, Cor-ten steel and river rock. Existing specimen plant material was preserved which adds beauty and value. The design for this Native residence focuses on heavy layering of native plant material that helps balance the house volume. Features include a fabulous outdoor entertaining area, pergola, grilling, paver and stone walkways, landscape lighting, pool upgrades, and open lawn spaces complete this unique and fabulous residence. Finally, the combination of dappled shade, water, and sweet scents create a wonderful sensory experience. We always strive to create a design that results in the best house on the block! We are excited to share the groundbreaking photos of the new Las Esperanzas subdivision. We are in the design phase for this subdivision's phase 2 additions. Phase 2 features a park with connecting trails, playground, reforestation, dog park, outdoor learning, and picnic areas. The park trails will connect to the new apartments, townhomes, and commercial plazas that encompass the existing lake. Follow us to see how this project develops. This rustic residence features a formal entrance and circle drive. The new lagoon style pool is nestled between a sun deck, fire feature, and outdoor kitchen. The kitchen is adjacent to the raised vegetable garden to provide fresh herbs for all your grilled treats. The site planning and grading process played an integral role in creating a cohesive outdoor setting. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces provide a full use of the exterior space. Time for a dip in the pool! |
