A space drawn from the land and your life.
We begin with how you want to use the outdoors, then shape the structure and materials around your home and its setting.
Design for the life you want outside
Steep limestone lots, mature tree cover, and homes ranging from Hill Country contemporary to traditional estates call for a design that respects both the house and the land.
A design that belongs to the slope
A steep limestone lot can change where a patio or deck makes sense. Mature trees may provide welcome shade but also affect structure placement and access. We begin with the approach from the house, the grade, and the best views, then look at a cover, pergola, or deck that feels natural beside the home.
What the site may ask of the design
Start with the path from the house, the day’s sun, the terrain, and the view you want to keep. A cover, kitchen, pergola, or deck should answer those conditions together. A flat courtyard and an elevated wooded lot need different plans.
Local planning matters
The City of West Lake Hills provides building and development review. Early site planning should account for setbacks, trees, access, and the structure proposed for the property.
Choose the right starting point
If the space feels exposed, begin with shade. If you want people to gather around meals, begin with the kitchen and seating. If the grade separates you from the yard, begin with access and the deck. Then connect the pieces into one plan.
