This project features a custom 15x30 saltwater pool designed and built for a family in Katy, Texas. The goal was to create a clean, functional, and low-maintenance outdoor living space while preserving enough yard for pets, play, and entertaining.
The design incorporates smart automation, color-changing LED lighting, an oversized tanning ledge, and thoughtful circulation paths around the pool.
The homeowners added their own landscaping, blending seamlessly with the pool’s geometry and creating a cohesive, warm outdoor environment.
This project showcases efficient use of space, modern lines, and a smooth indoor-to-outdoor transition.

Nestled at the top of a steeply sloped wooded site, this backyard retreat offers a quiet sanctuary tucked away in a busy west Austin neighborhood. This efficiently planned accessory dwelling unit comprises a bedroom, bath, kitchen and living area. The approach to the retreat is via a winding path up the woodland hill that arrives at a generous wrap-around porch. The path and porch are connected by a small bridge that negotiates the difference in terrain and provides an experiential cue of transitioning to a secluded and protected environment. Tall interior spaces give a sense of airiness to each room while the kitchen window seat provides views into the surrounding trees. Interior finishes include post-oak flooring, handmade ceramic tile, stone countertops, and custom millwork wainscoting, evoking a cottage-like domesticity that enhances the sense of solitude and rejuvenation from the pressures and stress of the everyday world.

This Mercer Island patio project completely transformed the backyard into a luxury, year-round outdoor living space designed for entertaining, relaxation, and recreation. We began by demolishing the existing deck and performing extensive excavation to prepare for new foundation walls, retaining walls, drainage, and a sunken swim spa area. A custom structural foundation created the framework for the expanded living space.
The lower level was finished with stamped concrete flooring, insulated walls, new windows, drywall, and premium exterior siding to seamlessly match the home. Mechanical systems included radiant floor heating, a high-efficiency boiler and water heater, plumbing, gas, ventilation, dehumidification, and a complete electrical installation for lighting, outlets, Bromic heaters, and outdoor amenities.
Large NanaWall-style glass doors connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a flexible environment that can be enjoyed throughout every season. The result is a sophisticated backyard retreat featuring a covered entertaining area, climate-controlled recreation space, and seamless indoor-outdoor living—all thoughtfully designed and expertly built by People Come First Construction Group.

High-performance glazing, engineered steel framing, and energy-efficient systems deliver 7-star comfort and durability in the demanding coastal environment, ensuring this home will stand strong for generations.
At CKS Projects, we take pride in crafting homes that are as functional as they are beautiful — and Ocean, Windang is no exception.

This modern bohemian kitchen renovation blends warmth, texture, and functionality to create a welcoming space designed for everyday living and entertaining. Natural materials, layered finishes, and carefully curated details—including wood, stone, leather, brass accents, and soft organic textures—bring the homeowner's vision to life.
A custom ActivWall Gas Strut Window serves as the focal point of the design, flooding the kitchen with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the outdoor living area. Paired with a fixed glass panel, the window expands views, enhances energy efficiency, and transforms the kitchen into an indoor-outdoor gathering space.
The renovation nearly doubled the usable footprint of the kitchen, creating an open, airy environment that embraces the home's mountain-modern influences while maintaining the relaxed, collected feel of modern bohemian design. The result is a bright, functional space where architecture, design, and lifestyle come together beautifully.
