This primary bathroom remodel marks the first transformation in a home our clients purchased ten years ago. With plans to renovate every level over time, this space sets the tone for the style and functionality they envision throughout the rest of their home.
The original layout included a tub that was never used, so we removed it to better utilize the square footage. By relocating the shower and reworking the overall layout, we created a more open, efficient design tailored to their daily routines. Updated finishes and a refreshed color palette establish a cohesive look that finally feels personal and reflective of their taste.
This bathroom renovation is just the beginning, and we are excited to help bring their long term vision to life, one space at a time.

Inside, the home continues its disciplined aesthetic—open, airy, and rooted in natural texture. White oak floors, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops create a neutral foundation that highlights the home’s architectural lines. The open floor plan connects kitchen, dining, and living areas, while expansive window walls extend sightlines into the landscape.
Mechanical and structural systems are discreetly integrated for comfort and performance. High-efficiency insulation, HVAC zoning, and moisture control ensure long-term durability and efficiency. Outdoor living areas—terraces, porches, and patios—mirror the main structure’s material language, with continuous stone and wood elements that blur the boundary between interior and exterior.

This Seward Park residence was reimagined for a retired architect returning to Seattle, blending bold design with practical function. The remodel retained only the original foundation, reinforcing it to support a brand-new second story. Vaulted ceilings and a glass railing system give the home an airy, open feel filled with natural light.
Inside, modern upgrades include a chef’s kitchen with a 48” range, built-in refrigerator, and smart storage throughout. Floating vanities make bathrooms easy to maintain, while thoughtful finishes add everyday convenience. Outside, new retaining walls, pervious pavers, and gravel pits provide stormwater management and off-street parking—all while enhancing curb appeal.
The result is a modern, stylish home designed for comfortable living and long-term resilience.

These homeowners approached us with a partially finished basement lacking a bathroom and an inefficient laundry area. One of the homeowners used the unconditioned, cold, and damp space as a home office, making it uncomfortable and impractical.
The goal was to create a fully functional and versatile living space by adding a full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a concealed laundry area. The space needed to be designed to serve the family’s daily needs, including accommodating their teenage son and functioning as potential rental income in the future.
Now considered an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), the remodeled basement features a private entrance, bathroom, kitchenette, and bedroom, offering comfort, flexibility, and long-term value for the homeowners.

Keeping with the craftsman design, these homeowners wanted to keep the same color palette but with all new products. When weighing the ongoing costs of patchwork repairs and repainting against a comprehensive exterior renovation, the cost vs. value equation became clear. Opting for new siding, energy-efficient windows, doors, and updated trim not only resolved maintenance issues but also ensured a long-term solution, tackling unseen deterioration that could be very costly in the future.

When our long-term clients purchased this home in Sherman Oaks, we helped them turn the backyard into a space they could actually use with a backyard upgrade and pool remodel. We rebuilt the pool and added a custom deck area with built-in bench seating for everyday use and small gatherings. We also designed and installed an outdoor BBQ kitchen with a durable basalt countertop that complements the interior. To break up the space, we added paving, stepping stones, and low-maintenance groundcover planting for texture and easier upkeep. We finished it off with wood elements and neutral tones to bring everything together into a practical and inviting backyard.

Shaped by the refined architecture of Çeşme, this elegant villa project completes its nature-inspired luxury aesthetic with Serapool’s Antique Beige Series and Antique Beige Infinity Tile. The warm beige tones merge with the natural texture of stone to create a sophisticated ambiance. With a water absorption rate below 0.5%, the tiles ensure long-term durability. They are highly resistant to UV rays, chemicals, and thermal shock, making them ideal for outdoor use. A PTV ≥ 45° slip resistance rating enhances safety on wet surfaces. The specially designed infinity tile offers a seamless visual connection to the landscape, elevating the overall experience. More than a swimming area, this project delivers a flawless combination of aesthetics, safety, and comfort, advancing the vision of luxury living.

This project features a custom 8-foot cedar board-on-board privacy fence, designed for both durability and timeless curb appeal. The fence is finished with a decorative top cap, adding a clean, elevated look while enhancing long-term protection from the elements.
The property also includes a metal-framed electric sliding driveway gate, providing secure and convenient access, along with matching custom walk-through gates for everyday use. To complete the project, a 4-foot metal fence was installed around the pool area, meeting safety requirements while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive design that complements the overall aesthetic of the property.
If you’d like, I can also make this shorter, more luxury-focused, or tweak it to highlight security, craftsmanship, or code compliance—just tell me the tone you want.

This home was another 100% brick exterior with only a small amount of siding above the roofline and on the chimney. The original wood fascia, soffit, trim, and upper siding had reached the end of their life, so we replaced everything with new James Hardie products for long‑term durability and a cleaner architectural look.
We also upgraded the porch by removing the outdated columns and installing modern Hardie column wraps to give the entryway a stronger, more contemporary presence. Once all new materials were installed, we finished the exterior with two coats of Sherwin‑Williams Emerald Rain Refresh, providing a smooth, durable, low‑maintenance finish built for Houston’s climate.
If your brick home needs fascia, soffit, trim, or upper‑story siding replaced, Deskins Siding & Exteriors delivers expert Hardie installation throughout Cypress, Tomball, and Northwest Houston.

Completed in collaboration with Alison Hall Architect, this Spring 2025 project focused on creating a dedicated laundry space that improves both the functionality and organization of the home. The new laundry addition was carefully designed to maximize efficiency while complementing the home's existing architecture and style.
Custom cabinetry, ample storage, durable surfaces, and a thoughtful layout transformed a routine household task into a more convenient and enjoyable experience. Every detail was selected to enhance usability, from optimized workspace planning to smart storage solutions that help keep the area clean and organized.
The result is a bright, practical, and beautifully finished laundry room that supports the homeowners' daily needs while adding long-term value to the home.

We designed and installed 16 custom planters around the front and side patio using a curated mix of climate-appropriate plants, stylish containers, and proper drainage for long-term health.
Here’s what went into it:
- 3D design to visualize layout, proportion, and plant placement
- Assorted planters with filler, perlite, raised garden soil + soil amendment
- A mix of sculptural and evergreen plantings, including:
• Dracaena trifasciata 'Laurentii'
• Boxwood Beauty Natal Plum
• Purple Majesty Chinese Fringe Flower
• Foothill Sedge
• Obsession Heavenly Bamboo
• Ray of Light Agave
• Woolly Grevillea, Snake Plant, Tradescantia & more
