Designed as a welcoming extension of the home’s Mediterranean-inspired aesthetic, this guest bathroom brings together natural textures, warm brass accents, and thoughtful simplicity. Soft Tadelak plaster walls and a neutral palette create an airy, sun-washed feel, while the arched mirror and curved niches echo traditional Mediterranean architecture. A custom white oak vanity with vessel sinks, mosaic tile flooring, and streamlined wall-mounted fixtures elevate the experience without overwhelming the space. Perfect for guests—but designed with the same care and detail as a primary suite—this bath proves that elegance lives in the details. We work with clients to craft beautiful, intentional spaces that feel warm, timeless, and distinctly personal.

This custom home embraces a refined coastal contemporary design — balancing clean architectural lines with warmth, comfort, and a strong connection to outdoor living. Designed for the Florida lifestyle, the home blends modern simplicity with timeless coastal influences to create a look that feels both elevated and effortless. Deep overhangs and expansive balconies provide shaded outdoor spaces, while large windows and doors bring natural light into the interior and strengthen the relationship between inside and out. The exterior palette pairs crisp, light finishes with dark accents and custom railings, adding contrast, depth, and a sense of modern sophistication. Symmetry and proportion play a central role in the overall composition, giving the home a strong architectural presence without feeling formal or rigid. Multiple outdoor living areas were intentionally integrated to support everyday living as well as entertaining, making the home as functional as it is visually striking. As a fully custom residence, the design focuses on creating a home that reflects the owners’ lifestyle — combining the relaxed ease of coastal living with the clean, intentional design language of contemporary architecture.

Designed and built for a local artist, this ADU was created as a clean, light-filled canvas where her artwork could take center stage. The goal was to create a simple, thoughtfully designed space that would allow her collection to shine while providing a comfortable, modern home. The ADU features dramatic high ceilings reaching 13 feet at their highest point, creating an open and gallery-like feeling throughout the space. Beautiful polished concrete floors add warmth and character while keeping the palette clean and understated. Every detail was intentionally kept simple so the architecture could complement—not compete with—the art. The result is a modern, versatile ADU that feels equally at home as a residence and a personal gallery.

From the street, this Menlo Park home keeps a low profile, giving no hint of the transformation behind it. The two story rear addition creates a new family room upstairs and an expanded kitchen dining area downstairs, reshaping how the home lives without disturbing its modest front elevation. The mature landscaping made photography nearly impossible, but it also gives the project its charm — the new wing feels tucked into a private garden, quiet and intentional. The clients are ecstatic. The flow is better, the light is better, and the new spaces feel like they’ve always belonged here. It’s the kind of addition that doesn’t call attention to itself — it simply makes the whole house work the way it always should have

The intent was to create a space that would transition smoothly from the natural elements of the outdoors. To create a welcoming space that would feel special but family friendly—not stuffy. The whimsical console, dynamic light fixture and natural materials help achieve these goals. Note: the generous sidelight offers a welcoming peek through the dining room and into the backyard.

This pantry is a beautiful extension of the kitchen’s elevated aesthetic—bright, efficient, and artfully detailed.

Every surface and finish has been chosen with intention, balancing functionality with refined style. It’s a utility space that feels anything but utilitarian—streamlined, stylish, and effortlessly organized.

Rather than relying on walls, this space uses furniture placement to define distinct functional zones while preserving an open, connected feel. A sectional and paired seating pieces establish a clear conversation area, anchoring the living space without interrupting sightlines or flow. By grouping furniture intentionally, each zone feels purposeful and intuitive, guiding movement through the room while avoiding visual clutter. This approach allows the layout to remain flexible and cohesive, supporting everyday use as well as social gatherings without sacrificing openness.

Texture and industrial details come together to give this hall bath its distinct character. The contrast of the glossy shower wall tile against the rugged, brick-look floor tile creates depth and visual interest, balancing polish with raw texture. A jetted tub adds both function and comfort, while thoughtfully selected fixtures and finishes bring in subtle industrial elements that feel modern, timeless, and makes even a secondary bathroom space feel intentionally designed.

We listened intently as this delightful family shared their vision for an Old World dream home with a European flair. One that was distinctly elegant, yet still casual enough for gatherings. It was very important to build with natural materials that fit in character with the surroundings. Attention to detail in each room was of utmost importance as the homeowners used their keen artistic sensibilities to stay closely involved in the selection of materials and colors. The resulting home feels as though it could’ve been built a century ago.

Tight tolerances, consistent shadow lines, and subtle material contrast allow the detailing to feel intentional rather than ornamental. Natural wood grain softens the stone surface

BEFORE ➡️ AFTER This inner courtyard had potential… it just needed a vision. We removed the dated gravel + overgrown beds and transformed it into a luxury geometric patio with turf inlays. Modern, clean, low-maintenance, and built to last. This is what intentional design does — it makes your home feel brand new again. If you want a space like this: Backyard • Courtyard • Side yard • Pool surround we can design + build the entire thing in-house. ? 832-230-7277 Texan Landscape Group

Minimalism isn’t supposed to be vanilla—this one actually earns the label. Clean, modern simplicity is the core, but it’s rich in intention. Every line, surface, and texture is deliberate; emptiness feels calculated, not lazy. The subdued palette and essentialist layout speak to refined restraint, yet the space still communicates a quiet, confident presence. Real minimalism with character—not stripped, but sharpened.
