The studio has built homes in this region for more than 25 years, originally as Jenkins Custom Homes. We are an all-in-one design-build practice. Architecture, interior design, landscape and pool design, and construction live under one roof, which means you work with one team from the first sketch to the day you move in. That structure is particularly useful for second-home buyers, families building remotely, and time-constrained owners who do not have the bandwidth to coordinate four or five vendors themselves. Most of our work is concentrated on lakefront, waterfront, and golf-course properties where view corridors, lot grading, and indoor-outdoor flow drive the architecture. Pools, water features, outdoor kitchens, and covered outdoor rooms are designed and built alongside the home rather than added later, so the indoor and outdoor spaces actually feel like one continuous home. Recognition includes three Texas Custom Builder of the Year wins, multiple Best of Houzz awards, and category wins for Best Custom Home, Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, Best Architectural Design, Best Interiors, Best Outdoor Living, and Best Parade Home. We are also an Authorized Builder for Andersen Windows & Doors. If you are planning a new home in the Austin area in the $3M–$20M range, we would be glad to talk through your project. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Kitchen Remodeling - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Architectural Design - Building Design - Architectural Drawings - Outdoor Kitchen Construction - House Plans - Home Restoration - Floor Plans - Energy-Efficient Homes - Universal Design - Green Building - Sustainable Design - Historic Building Conservation - Site Planning - Drafting - Construction Drawings - Interior Design - Landscape Design - Swimming Pool Design ### Areas Served - Austin - Lakeway - Spicewood - Lago Vista - Bee Cave - Dripping Springs - Lost Creek - Horseshoe Bay - West Lake Hills - Barton Creek - Hudson Bend - The Hills - Briarcliff - Rollingwood - Volente - Sunset Valley - Driftwood ### Typical Job Cost $3 million - 20 million Most Jenkins Design Build homes are around $10M, with overall projects ranging from $3M to $20M.
