Jared brings a thoughtful approach when working alongside the builder, always striving to understand the cost of construction and the feasibility of executing his designs in field. When working with our custom clients, he carefully balances the un.box aesthetic with client's preferences to create distinguished but highly livable designs. Infill building is especially challenging and un.box navigates that environment with ease. We appreciate his collaborative mindset, as it brings value to all parties. **★★★★★ — Taproot Studio, March 2018** > We have collaborated on several smaller residential remodel and restaurant/ food and beverage projects and I tend to want to echo the sentiments of all the other five star reviews here as well: Jared & Unbox will bring great design to your project. I think that the studio's attention to project details couples well with their awareness of material possibility in design. Great people to work with as well; you'll end up good friends who are invited to cool parties and events hosted by the studio. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2014** > We have had the pleasure of supplying reclaimed materials for a project that Jared Haas of un.box studio designed. He used our antique reclaimed tobacco pine in a modern bathroom design and it turned out amazing. He understands how to marry the incredibly modern with the warm, rich, history that only reclaimed wood can bring to a project. He knows how to created the modern design his clients love while giving them the warm and inviting details that make their space a home or their office space a place that clients love to visit. Jared is the persona of Austin architecture, young, bright, innovative and he finds new ways to create original work and not just follow the crowd. It is a pleasure to be a part of an un.box studio project and we look forward to collaborating with them on their amazing contributions to the look, feel and future of Austin architecture. **Comment from Black Rabbit:** > Thank you very much Reclaimed Design Works! We look forward to continuing doing fantastic projects together. FYI, here is an updated photo ... **★★★★★ — Lohr Homes, June 2014** > Jared Haas is a gifted architect; his talent has professed itself in the design of our modern condos. With modern, slick design his product is a vision of what we were looking for. His imagination and creativity play much in his success as an architect. Staying current with the latest designs and materials for the most dramatic visual effects. We recommend him highly! **Comment from Black Rabbit:** > We very much enjoyed working with Michelle and Gil on this project. Michelle has a fantastic eye for interior design and photography and has taken wonderful photos of our collaborative duplex project in south Austin ... **★★★★★ — Cindy Montgomery, April 2014** > Jared and his team have impeccable taste Our remodel project was difficult because we asked him to take the addition in a more modern direction, without violating the sensibility of the existing parts of the house. The results have been spectacular! Every person who enters our home remarks on how different the space feels, and yet, how it feels as though it should have always been this way. Jared nailed each request, and applied a unique sense of scale and proportion, which was difficult because of a monster-sized, existing fireplace that had to stay in the design. Un-Box was the right combination of responsiveness, cooperation, collaboration, care, talent and price. Which...after 3 previous tries with other firms, is nothing short of miraculous. I would recommend Un-Box whole-heartedly! **Comment from Black Rabbit:** > Thank you Cindy! It took us a few rounds to get it right and am glad we were able to achieve what you and Jeff have been dreaming of for years. I greatly enjoyed the process and our relationship and look forward to hearing about any landscape updates! **★★★★★ — Melde Construction Company, March 2014** > un.box studio is one of the most detailed and thoughtful architecture firms Melde has collaborated with in recent years. From the first project we did with them, they brought innovative designs and applications to the project. As questions have come up in the field, they have been one of the best at responding to our project manager quickly and efficiently, meeting both our needs and that of the client. Our clients as well have given nothing but good feedback about this firm. As one of Austin's Hottest Firms, un.box studio is one firm that Melde hopes to collaborate with for years to come. Any potential client looking for great design firm with impeccable attention to detail needs to look no further than un.box studio. **Comment from Black Rabbit:** > Thank you Bernie and Jason! > > We very much enjoy the collaborative relationship we have going and look forward to seeing our current projects coming into fruition, especially our new office space. **★★★★★ — Urvi Naik, March 2014** > My husband and I met Jared through a friends recommendation 6 m ago and have been working with him on our upcoming project since then. We knew the day we had our initial consult that he was the right fit for us as we were gearing on a contemporary look. His past projects were phenomenal . As he started working on the designs, Jared always went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met making sure he would incorporate everything we had on our wish list into the design. His passion for architecture speaks for itself in his works with attention to minute details, unique designs and clean lines which is exactly what my husband and I were looking for. His designs have impressed a lot of builders who we consulted throughout the process. We cant complain one bit about our experience working with him so far and would highly recommend him to all our friends and my clients ! > > Urvi Desai > Realtor® > Keller Williams Realty **Comment from Black Rabbit:** > Thank you Urvi and Jatan! It is unfortunate for us that the project has been decided not to move forward. We have been through quite a bit together and really enjoyed our working relationship. Thank you once again for the opportunity and really hope we can work together in the near future! **★★★★★ — cabanacousins, May 2013** > Our family has had Lake property,used as a family park for over 2 generations;mostly in the summer and for celebratory events. > > Our need was to create a space for a growing family and expand time together in a conditioned room. > > Jared Haas has been able to translate the vision of our dreams and create a space married to the land! Jared's keen professionalism was exhibited at the weekly meetings with the contractor, and later the interior designer and the landscape designer. > > His calmness, while always staying focused was the key to completing the project with the entire team being just that! > > Jared has an endless well of creativity! > > NOTE: See under Un-Box site his lake cabin pictures **Comment from Black Rabbit:** > Sandy and Dudley, you have been very instrumental in my personal life and career. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity to work with you and your family on the cabana project and look forward to many more events out on the lake with everyone! ## Selected projects - [Turner Ranch Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/turner-ranch-residence-pj-vj~7025386) - Location: Marble Falls, TX - Photos: 3 - [Scenic View Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scenic-view-residence-pj-vj~7025308) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 3 - [Matthews Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/matthews-residence-pj-vj~7025394) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 3 - [Friar Tuck Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/friar-tuck-residence-pj-vj~7509655) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/friar-tuck-residence-pj-vj~7509655?share=clipboard - [Oasis 3 Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oasis-3-residence-pj-vj~7509661) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 3 - [Oasis 2 Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oasis-2-residence-pj-vj~6671198) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 2 - [Oasis 1 Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oasis-1-residence-pj-vj~2995458) - Location: Austin, TX - Photos: 2 - Description: This large concrete residence overlooking Lake Travis exemplifies luxury living.
