Exterior: Set in a remote district just outside Halfway, Oregon, this working ranch required a water reserve for fire fighting for the newly constructed ranch house. This pragmatic requirement was the catalyst for the unique design approach — having the water reserve serve a dual purpose: fitness and firefighting. Borrowing from the surrounding landscape, two masses — one gabled mass and one shed form — are skewed to each other, recalling the layered hills that surround the home. Internally, the two masses give way to an open, unencumbered space. The use of wood timbers, so fitting for this setting, forms the rhythm to the design, with glass infill opening the space to the surrounding landscape. The calm blue pool brings all of these elements together, serving as a complement to the green prairie in summer and the snow-covered hills in winter.

This sleek horizontal screening board fence adds a clean, contemporary edge to the garden. Its design creates subtle texture and rhythm, complementing the nearby pathway and planting area while providing privacy and structure without feeling heavy or obstructive.

Total remodel of a 1950's house, 45 minutes away from downtown Austin. Charming original hardwood floors are kept, sanded and re-stained. The kitchen is flanked by two living spaces on either side and is opened up by a rustic beam complementing the floors. Two toned cabinets create a lovely rhythm. Sage green base cabinets carry the greenery inside. Custom millwork shelving generate ample storage in the kitchen, while built in bench provides a lovely nook. The new master suit has a barn door, a curb less shower, double vanity, and terrazzo tile that carries throughout the floor on to the accent wall. The project was a total renovation including new electrical, new plumbing, new HVAC as well as new finish work such as tile and carpentry.
