Donovan met with us originally and took lots of notes and was able to capture everything we asked for almost immediately. We then were fortunate to work hand-in-hand with Wade in getting all of the details completed. Wade was unbelievable; he is a creative genius when it comes to immediately capturing what you are thinking and incorporating it into the design. He was able to make suggestions we could have never dreamed of that are now some of our favorite aspects of the home. To say our experience with Danze & Davis was great would be an understatement. We could not be more pleased. **★★★★★ — Herb Mendoza, Dec. 2018** > We were referred to Danze and Davis by one of the premiere home builders in NCTx. Danze and Davis were the original architects to design the home amd we wanted to build an addition to the house following the purchase. > My wife and I met with Donovan Davis and Karina Buerke. Great team, Donovan was attentive to detail and listened to my wife’s every request. Karina was timely, very effective and professional at delivering the project initial rendering, worked with us to make adjustments and produced blue prints in collaboration with the team. > Great experience, good people and a pleasure to work with them. **★★★★★ — Younger Homes, Sept. 2018** > The architects and designers are incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. We have enjoyed multiple projects with the team at Danze and Davis since we started working in the Austin Area. They are attentive, timely, are great with customers, and most of all are really good at what they do - focusing on energy efficiency, optimal site placement, and live-ability of the home. **★★★★★ — Jimmy Dimanoff, Dec. 2017** > I have worked with Danze & Davis for over 15 years and continue to be impressed with their ability to design floor plans that are functional and architecturally appealing. Would recommend them to anyone looking to design a home. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > Jimmy, > Thank you for your long time relationship with us and the chance of working together through many projects in a variety of design scenarios, from large custom homes to tight urban lots and even multi- family designs. As you know we always enjoy a good challenge! > Best regards, > Donovan **★★★★★ — Danielle Younger, Dec. 2017** > Everything we could want and more from a designer and architect. The team has gone above and beyond expectations, from our first meeting, to finalizing plans, the Danze and Davis team has been great to work with! **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > Danielle, > You and Jesse are a joy to work with and it is exciting to see your final design come together in real life. We thoroughly enjoyed working with your challenging site and you allowing us to work with some creative solutions to take advantage of your site and view! > Thank you, > Donovan **★★★★★ — Colton Joseph, Sept. 2017** > Danze & Davis have proven to be the go to guys for any architectural needs no matter the style of home you have in mind. I personally ran across them after seeing their "Lake Travis" home right outside my neighborhood which is a stunning contemporary work of art (and my dream home!) For my first house I went with one of their design concepts rather than starting from scratch due to my budget concerns. The contemporary home I chose has proven to be very economical to build as well as efficient in the energy department. The staff at Danze & Davis has been very informative, attentive, and courteous since day one. Tina helped me through the plan and site plan process providing great service and reasonable prices. I would definitely refer Danze & Davis to any of my close family/friends, and expect to work with them again and again in the future! Thanks for your expertise and great customer service! **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > Colton, > Thank you very much for your choosing us to provide for your architecture. We always pride ourselves that we have the ability to provide good service no matter the budget, and we are really glad that we could provide a solution that was economical from the architecture thru construction and livability. Also this proves that anyone can get a well-designed contemporary home and you don’t have to spend a fortune! > Thank you, > Donovan **★★★★★ — npickering2, Dec. 2015** > We used Danze and Davis to create our dream Net Zero energy home in Driftwood. Donovan is a great listener, gives sound advice and, most importantly, puts on paper what we can only imagine vaguely in our mind. He took our budget concerns seriously and allowed us to revise an existing plan to something that was perfect for our lifestyle and the lot we had chosen. In the process, we were able to save at least 30% in design costs. > > The final house is exactly what we wanted. It was like he could read our minds! All the staff at D/D are very easy to get along with, and Sarah our project manager did an excellent job of doing the bulk of the work revising the plans. All the builders we've shown the plans to have remarked on how detailed and complete they are, so we know we made the right decision by going with Danze and Davis. We are anxious to see the final plans come to life in the coming year. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > Thank you very much for the great review. Y'all were great to work with and your site was an excellent place for your design! **★★★★★ — guidocanedo, Aug. 2015** > Donovan Davis is an excellent listening architect. He shaped my ideas and greatly improved with an amazing vision. Jesse Gomez brought to reality the sketches, it is always nice and pleasant to work with them. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > @Guidocanedo, thank you for your review on our Houzz page. We pride ourselves on listening to all the needs of our customers, and we are glad to help bring your vision to life. Thank you again for choosing us to be your architect. **★★★★★ — Kate Bond, Aug. 2015** > Hired to create the plans for a new home. Turned out to be pretty close to the concept we had in mind, hill country contemporary. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > Thank you, @Kmclagan, for your review on our Houzz page. I am confident that you will be pleased with your Hill Country Contemporary home! I know that your home will turn out great on your wonderful lot. **★★★★★ — Lauren Johnson, Aug. 2015** > We gave Donovan a long list of specifics when we first met with him about building our new home and by our second meeting, he pretty much had our dream home sketched out. He was very easy to work with and I would definitely recommend working with Donovan and his team. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > @Lauren Manchester, thank you for your review on our Houzz page. We have enjoyed working with you and your husband in designing your dream home, and we wish both of y’all the very best in your new home. **★★★★★ — Casey Building Company, Feb. 2015** > Casey Homes and Danze and Davis have had a long standing business relationship. Donovan Davis has always been able to help my clients to be able to define their dream home into a reality. With the ability to be able to understand a clients thoughts, sketches and pictures he has been able to produce workable, concise drawings allowing us to be able to bid and construct the project. Our clients have been happy not only with the quality of the drawings but the experience of working with an architect who is adept at putting their thoughts and ideas into the project. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > @CaseyHomesInc., we really appreciate you taking the time to review us on our Houzz account. We thank you for your partnership with our firm on many projects and we look forward to working together on many more in the future. **★★★★★ — Lecasa Homes & Renovations, Jan. 2015** > Donovan at Danze and Davis is probably the best listening Architect I've ever encountered. In the number of projects we've worked together he's been able to meet our needs with amazing vision. As an independent custom builder and remodeler, my niche clientele must be supremely pleased with the end result so we can maintain our reputation. So far, we've achieved success in all our projects. I'm so thrilled with Donovan's abilities that when it came time to selecting an Architect to help with our own home, the decision was the easiest one we made for the duration of the entire project, Donovan at Danze & Davis. **Comment from Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.:** > @lecasahomes, thank you for your review on our Houzz account and many thanks for your continued business over the years. We always enjoy working together with you. ## Selected projects - [Cupertino](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cupertino-pj-vj~6671080) - Location: Dripping Springs, TX - Photos: 29 - [Scandinavian Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scandinavian-farmhouse-pj-vj~7095441) - Location: Jonestown, TX - Photos: 35 - [Cliffside Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cliffside-farmhouse-pj-vj~6817971) - Location: Lago Vista, TX - Photos: 37 - Description: The exterior of the home stays true to the modern farmhouse style with white board and batten siding, black windows and doors, and a dark metal roof.

I would love to know the colors used. A: Thank you for your question regarding our Cliffside Farmhouse project. The color used for the siding is Sherwin Williams Alabaster. **Q: what paint colors did you use on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)* The taupe color in the foyer near the formal dining room. A: Hi Jessica, thank you for your question on our photo. The paint color is: Functional Grey SW7024, by Sherwin-Williams. I am glad you were able to find the name of the paint color from a previously answered question. Please let me know if you have additional questions. **Q: where is the freezer** *(in Photo Questions)* it looks like a column refrigerator to the right of the range, where is the freezer?
