He is easy to work with and his drawings are clear and detailed. Hill does not just draw a house and walk away. He sees the project through to integrate the architecture with the interiors and landscape. I would not hesitate to recommend Hill as an architect. ## Selected projects - [River Oaks Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-oaks-renovation-pj-vj~2667650) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 9 - Description: The original home was built in 1934, and subsequently renovated in 1950 (portico addition, alterations to upstairs bedrooms, and enclosure of the garden terrace), and in 1990 (kitchen and master bath and closet wing addition).
