And the award goes to...

With nearly all of our work coming from referrals, we've never worried much about awards and publications (heck, we haven't even been listed in the phone book for the last ten years!), so when builder Lee Mackenzie sent our 2009 whole-house project on Shoalwood off to NARI for their remodeling awards program, I never imagined that we'd run the tables with it.

It won locally, then regionally in the category "entire house $250-500k", then we got word yesterday that it won the national award, given out at NARI's annual banquet in Phoenix over the weekend.

How will we top that?

Bright and Breezy update

Here are some preliminary sketches of our most recent project in West Austin.  We're working on a 50's house on a great lot.  The existing house has lots of rooms, but no Space, and it doesn't do justice to the great views and breezes it's surrounded by.

 

Our early plan is to gut the entire main level of the home to repurpose all of the space.  As you can see in the renderings (these focus on the casual family spaces), the end result should be way more enjoyable than the existing house.

Stay tuned for updates as we move forward with this one!
