This multi-use addition is a good example of how "green" design can be incorporated into a project of any size. In addition to giving the homeowners a quiet retreat for reading or studying, this space also provides additional space for guests and a connection to the outdoors. This project re-used windows and doors while creating an opportunity for remediation of insulation deficiencies in the existing house. The built-in dresser is made of reclaimed boards.

This was an older contemporary home on Lake Conroe with stunning views of the lake, sky, and golf course. Sunsets here are incredible. This was a total remodel. The clients objective was to make this home a "New England " style retreat. The home was taken down to the studs and completely rearranged with new additions to the Master Suite, Study, Wine and Butlers Pantry, upstairs game room with the addition of a Bunk Room.

Two yellow armchairs pop against the glossy, deep blue of the library. While it is beautiful in photos, it is remarkable in person. A vintage ceiling fixture adds glamour.
