Permeable materials meet where the hardscape ends and the turf begins. Please forgive any discoloration in the turf as it is the end of November and the turf was just set prior to the pictures being taken. Photo Credit: Karina Filipovich - Northwest Houston Real Estate Photographer

Example of a classic kitchen design in Austin

We are obsessed with this clean, contemporary and COZY family room. We created a space that the the family can hang out, without concern for practicalities of everyday life getting in the way. Child friendly fabric and forgiving colors are essential when designing a family space.

High-performance, high-end appliances make cooking a pleasure, promote healthy eating and reflect the luxurious lifestyle of my client. This Wolf range with custom stainless steel hood and brass trim inspired the dramatic, antique silver and gold backsplash. Each stone tile is wrapped in metal and finely etched in a starburst pattern that reflects the light and adds warmth. To make the wide-plank, walnut wood floor more “forgiving” to wear and tear, I chose a lightly distressed finish. Photo by Jeff Mateer

This new construction custom home was built for a family on a private wooded lot in Wildwood. Surrounded by acres of forest, this home offers total privacy, while allowing for ample natural light and views of the nearby scenery. Light colors, beautiful wood, natural light, and custom tile are a design theme throughout the home. The light color palette paired with the large windows, which allow in natural light, makes the home light and bright. Beautiful wood is a feature throughout the home. Timber beams accent the main floor, extending from the kitchen, through the dining, and living rooms. The kitchen island and bathroom vanities all feature reclaimed wood paired with white ceramic sinks. A finished lower level was built for this family’s young children to have plenty of space to play. The lower level features Earthwerks Derby Plank flooring throughout. The flooring is naturally beautiful and durable – forgiving of messes and accidents that may occur when young children play.

A long-span ridge beam opens into a cupola clearstory to let light into this previously dark entrance to to a new master suite. Bringing in natural light, these remotely wired windows are easily operable from any location in the room. Soft and forgiving planks of cork created the bedroom’s walking surface.

Spectrum Quartz Splendid went into this kitchen in West Columbia, and it's the kind of stone that does a lot of the work in a room without shouting about it. It's an engineered quartz, so what you're looking at is a mix of ground quartz and resin, pressed and cured until it's hard, dense, and consistent from one end of the slab to the other. The background reads soft and light, with a scatter of movement through it that keeps the surface from looking flat under kitchen lighting. We templated the counters the way we do every job, laser measuring the base cabinets so the slabs come back from the shop cut to the exact lines of that kitchen. With quartz, that precision matters a lot, because the pattern repeats in a controlled way and you can plan your layout and your seams instead of chasing anything. That's part of why quartz suits a working kitchen so well. What you see in the showroom is what you get on the counter, corner to corner, with the pattern lining up the way it should. Day to day, this material is about as forgiving as it gets. It doesn't need sealing, ever, because it's non-porous straight out of the fabrication shop. Wine, coffee, tomato sauce, none of it soaks in if you wipe it up in a reasonable time. It stands up to knives and daily wear better than most kitchen surfaces, though we still tell folks to use a trivet, since quartz doesn't love direct heat from a hot pan sitting right on it. Scratches aren't something you have to worry about with normal use in a busy kitchen. We set the counters with an eased edge, clean and simple, which is what most of our customers land on once they see it doesn't take anything away from the stone itself. Jobs like this one are what keep us busy across the Midlands. West Columbia kitchens see a lot of quartz these days, and Spectrum Quartz Splendid is a slab that holds up to real cooking and real family life while still looking sharp enough to notice the first time you walk into the room.
