Inspired by the layered flat roofs of a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Milwaukee, we decided to apply a similar (but different) look to this mid century guest house. That breeze block wall (from is icing on the cake😉

Oliver and Marcus are inspecting this newly installed Saltillo tile floor (tile from ) at our Tisdale Project. Soon we will have drywall installed and will be ready for custom cabinets from .ql . We’re just in love with this dramatic arched entry into this new dining/kitchen space 💕 design build

Our Rollingwood Project was all about symmetry. We had several internal meetings about the best tile layout . While the horizontal grout lines were repeating, the vertical ones were not. With careful planning, we were able to create a final product for even the most discerning OCD tendencies. 😊

A while back we helped our friends refresh their front of house. From a design perspective, we focused on some clever solutions to save on budget. A good example was using the existing freestanding banquettes to create a wall of seating. We modified the existing benches, added some French inspired trim and painted them in a lovely green. What a cozy space for a coffee or their signature bahn mi 😊 Swipe left for a photo with trim but before paint. Photo:

We are super excited about our Sierra Madre Project (currently in the framing stage). This full living unit pool house will have a main roof that will partially shade the pool from the intense afternoon summer heat. This tiny house will have multiple roof planes inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s work. Little details like a breeze block screen will make this one fantastic mid century new build 😊

Our River-O Project was one of those new build la that we designed and built in house. The front facade is a mix of wood and board/batten siding in just the right colors. It could be one of our favorite mid century new builds 💕

One of the bedrooms at our river-O Project featured a wall of built in desk cabinetry with quartz countertops from .ql. Lots of windows help flood this room with natural light. It quickly became the favorite spot to work from home.

We are wrapping up our Werner St Project. This whole house (plus addition) includes this custom cedar covered porch. The summer may be hot but this screened porch will keep you cool like a mint julep and immune from attacking mosquitoes 😊

We’ve been dreaming up this concept for the primary bath at our Burnhill Project. We’ve gone back and fourth on the door stack above the countertop. To add some interest and take up minimal counter space, we will bury most of this cabinet in the wall. Only 4” will be standing proud of the finished wall. Instead of a hard 90 degree corners we’ve opted for radius corners. The thought is to use a single sheet of veneer horizontally so everything is grain matched across our curves and inset doors. We’re excited to see .ql execute the fab and install on this nearly 10ft vanity 😌

This cold has us thinking about warmer times. We’re still dreaming about our McCormick project at lake Travis. The original kitchen was dark and dated. Painted cabinetry mixed with white oak gave us a nice balance for this bohemian kitchen. The first three photos show the finished kitchen. Photos 4 and 5 show the before and the remaining photos show the progression from demo to finish. And wow what a finish!

On a scheduled trip to our Wright St project this last week, we were hoping for better weather for a few snapshots. The rain gave us a new look look to this project. The glossy ipe deck set off against that smooth stucco exterior is making us love this project even more 💕
