Build

Although professional, personal service is the core of our product, the houses themselves are the physical manifestation of what we create. This gallery contains examples of the variety of size and style in our 30 years of built history.

End of the Road

A multi-module homestead sensitively placed on a difficult site, this well-designed house has antique timber ceilings and multiple screened porches. A challenge to construct, but it occupies the site beautifully.

Texas

Built in 1992 using aromatic cedar for floors, doors and millwork, we set up shop and even built the furniture for this house, creating copies of antique pieces by hand.

Oaks

A very stylish smaller home, the extensive woodwork in the public space let us do what we like to do.

Chateau

A French farmhouse with a Texas spin, this stone cottage was gratifying to build. Antique fir trusses and antique oak flooring make it timeless.

Overlook

Located on a hilltop with a lake view, this house features awesome outdoor living space. Standing on concrete piers and with solar panels on southern roof planes, it was a different sort of building for us.

Stokes

A large house on a beautiful site. The details create warmth and intimacy.

Round Top

Designed to be different, the longleaf pine floors, cedar doors and pecan cabinets bring a retro feel, and the barrel ceiling in the living room adds a crisp, modern touch.

Go Away

A personal favorite, this is Bungalow Style on steroids with lots of handcraft.

Revival

A modern homage to a Greek Revival with grand formal spaces, this house tested our skills with traditional woodworking details.

Limestone

With a 1,500 square-foot basement under a full two stories, this home’s beautiful walnut floors and millwork with traditional stairs gave us great memories.

1948

This was an existing house that got a total makeover. We even added a basement, a rarity in this part of Texas.

Casitas

With four contiguous living spaces identical in size but unique in design, we were able to try out different production techniques.

Villa

Italian country style let us try something different. Cast-stone details and antique doors and beam work proved our woodworking chops.

Lodge

Serving an exotic game ranch, this hunting lodge was built to serve hunters with luxury and style. The great-room trusses were particularly satisfying to build.

Wine

This oenophile owner needed a way to protect, display and enjoy wine, and we were able to provide it. Climate controlled to the max, this one has back-up power and HVAC with quality millwork under a barrel ceiling.

Andre

A straightforward home with real Texas style, this one is timeless.

Bryan

This building site has 60” of drop with stair-step lakes. Built using sandstone and heavy timbers, the steel casement windows bring a period feel. This was a real challenge on every level.

Pecan

The spectacular great room in this house, with bookcases and a balcony on three sides, kept us interested and involved. And we built our first dumbwaiter.

Hoppe Sister

With its livable and easy-to-maintain space, this home is a perfect weekender.

Hartfield

A small basement anchors this pier and beam house to its site next to a lily pond.

Poe Farm

A classic raised southern cottage, this house is classically detailed in modern materials.

Badum

With just enough room for kids (or guests), this small house gave us a chance to do ship’s stairs. Sweet.
