PICTURE-FRAMED and EXPANSIVE!
2 keywords to describe the complete rebuild at 1406 Circle Ridge in Westlake.
Framed windows bring in expansive picturesque views and complement the purposeful open interior design creating a sense of 'connected openness'. The theme of connected openness pervades every inch of this luxurious home, extending even to the outdoor areas. Every living space seamlessly flows into the other while at the same time professing its own character and function.
The custom designed floating staircase with the architectural chandelier adds definition and character to the space while the consistent wood flooring throughout creates flow. The fireplace stands tall and appears almost free-standing, partitioning areas while maintaining the bright and open feel.
Staggered windows in the living area invite you to take in the expansive views while luxuriating in comfy sofas over lively conversation. A similar theme of picture-framed expansive views accompany you whether you are in the kitchen, the dining table, family or bedrooms.
Speaking of the kitchen, it is the epitome of form meeting function. The large center island has enough storage spaces for small and big items while the patterned backsplash with a framed window looking out into the living space adds interest. Top of the line appliances ensure a quick job every time.
Bedrooms and bathrooms provide a quiet sanctuary while being open to the expanse outside. The outdoors is picture perfect as well - with a custom designed pool and Texas-native landscaping that is wonderfully diverse yet low maintenance.
While 'Connected Openness' was achieved as a goal for this complete remodel, picture-framed expansiveness ended up as the icing on the cake.

Airy Upper Landing with Modern Industrial Detail
This perspective showcases how a well-chosen railing system can transform a standard hallway into a bright, architectural feature. By utilizing high-tension cables and light-reflective flooring, the design creates a sense of limitless space and clean, modern continuity.
Design Highlights:
Contemporary Cable Guardrails: The stainless steel cable system provides an ultra-slim profile that keeps the hallway feeling wide and open. The horizontal cables draw the eye forward, elongating the transition between rooms.
Light-Wash Wide Plank Flooring: The pale, neutral-toned flooring (likely a light oak or white-washed luxury vinyl) reflects natural light from the adjacent rooms, keeping the landing bright and airy without the need for heavy overhead lighting.
Minimalist Door & Trim Profiles: Clean white Shaker-style doors and simple flat-profile baseboards maintain the Japandi-inspired minimalism seen throughout the rest of the home.
Architectural Symmetry: The parallel lines of the railing posts and the cable tensioners create a rhythmic, geometric appeal that is a hallmark of modern industrial design.
Seamless Level Transition: The view looking down the stairwell reinforces the home’s open vertical flow, showing how the railing serves as a consistent design anchor from the ground floor up.

This kitchen remodel was designed to make a statement—balancing bold character with refined craftsmanship to create a space that’s both highly functional and visually unforgettable.
At the heart of the design is a striking contrast palette. Crisp white perimeter cabinetry keeps the space bright and open, while rich black lower cabinets and a substantial island ground the room with depth and sophistication. The oversized island serves as both a functional workspace and a central gathering point, topped with a dramatic stone surface that adds movement and texture.
The flooring plays a defining role in the overall aesthetic. A custom black-and-white patterned tile layout introduces energy and personality, transforming the kitchen into a true design centerpiece while maintaining a timeless appeal. This bold foundation is thoughtfully balanced by clean lines, classic shaker cabinetry, and elegant hardware selections.
Functionality was a key driver throughout the project. The layout maximizes workflow efficiency with dedicated zones for cooking, prep, and cleanup. A professional-grade range anchors the island, while the farmhouse sink positioned beneath large windows brings in natural light and enhances the everyday experience. Custom storage solutions—including extended cabinetry, integrated dish storage, and built-in appliance areas—ensure everything has its place without compromising the clean aesthetic.
Lighting was carefully layered to elevate both form and function. Statement pendant fixtures above the island add architectural interest, while recessed lighting provides consistent illumination throughout the space.
The result is a kitchen that feels both elevated and livable—where bold design choices meet practical everyday use. It’s a space designed not just to cook in, but to gather, entertain, and truly enjoy.

Alamo Kitchen, Bath & Library Remodel
This Alamo kitchen remodel and full home cabinetry project was designed to blend modern art influences with clean transitional cabinetry throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, library, and laundry. The goal was to create a cohesive, functional space while allowing the homeowner’s artwork to drive key design decisions.
The kitchen features a balanced mix of light cabinetry and a darker island, creating contrast while maintaining a warm, inviting feel. As part of this Alamo kitchen remodel, thoughtful storage solutions and clean lines keep the space highly functional while showcasing the benefits of custom cabinetry.
In the bathrooms, floating vanities were used to create a more open, modern look. The green vanity is a standout feature, with the color carefully pulled from a featured art piece in the home. While the original concept called for an orange cabinet, refining the tone from the artwork allowed for a more sophisticated and integrated design, something we often focus on in our Alamo custom cabinetry projects.
The custom library cabinetry was designed to feel architectural while still practical for everyday use, combining open shelving with lower storage to support both display and organization.
All cabinetry throughout the home was crafted using Shiloh and Shiloh Eclipse lines, delivering a consistent level of quality and finish across every space. This project is a great example of how Alamo custom cabinetry can bring together design, function, and personal style across an entire home.

Located in Argyle, Texas, this comprehensive whole-home renovation was conceived by USI Design & Remodeling who reimagined the home's interior architecture, transforming a collection of compartmentalized rooms into a cohesive environment designed for modern living, entertaining, and daily comfort. The project encompassed the kitchen, family room, dining room, lounge, office, primary bathroom, and supporting circulation spaces, creating a unified experience that feels both expansive and intentional. Throughout the home, refined materials, custom millwork, and carefully curated finishes establish a sense of understated luxury while maintaining warmth and livability.
At the heart of the renovation is a completely reconfigured kitchen and gathering space designed around functionality, hospitality, and visual connection. Architectural barriers were removed to improve sightlines and circulation, allowing the kitchen, dining, and family spaces to function as a single integrated living environment. A dramatic five-foot workstation sink anchors the kitchen, while custom cabinetry and furniture-inspired details elevate the space beyond conventional residential design. Adjacent to the kitchen, the former pantry, laundry, and service corridor were reimagined as a hybrid scullery and utility suite, creating a highly functional support space that discreetly accommodates food preparation, storage, organization, and household operations without compromising the elegance of the primary living areas.
The renovation extends beyond aesthetics to create a home tailored to the family's evolving needs. The primary bathroom was transformed into a spa-inspired retreat, while the lounge, office, and dining spaces were redesigned to support both everyday living and entertaining. Consistent architectural detailing, layered textures, and thoughtful proportions establish continuity throughout the residence, allowing each room to feel connected to the larger design narrative. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable home that balances practical performance with timeless design, delivering a renewed living experience that is both highly functional and distinctly luxurious.

Thermador Professional Suite: The Peak of Culinary Integration
A high-end custom build is only as good as its components. This gourmet kitchen is anchored by a complete suite of Thermador professional appliances, engineered for homeowners who demand peak performance alongside artisan aesthetics. We meticulously framed each unit to ensure a flush, "furniture-grade" fit that complements the natural knotty-wood cabinetry.
Premium Tech & Installation Highlights:
Professional Induction Cooktop & Island Hood: The central island features a high-efficiency Thermador induction cooktop, paired with a heavy-duty stainless steel island hood. This setup provides rapid, precise temperature control and powerful ventilation without obstructing the open-concept sightlines.
Integrated Refrigeration Columns: A massive, built-in Thermador refrigerator and freezer suite is seamlessly recessed into the custom millwork, offering a sleek, industrial contrast to the warm timber tones of the surrounding cabinetry.
Masterpiece Series Wall Ovens: The stainless steel double wall ovens are positioned at the optimal height for ergonomic use, featuring professional-grade convection technology for consistent results in a high-volume kitchen.
Hidden Efficiency: The installation includes an integrated Thermador dishwasher and a built-in microwave drawer, ensuring that every tool is within reach while maintaining the clean architectural lines of the space.

This project was such an incredible design opportunity, and instilled inspiration and excitement at every turn! Our amazing clients came to us with the challenge of converting their beloved family home into a welcoming haven for all members of the family. At the time that we met our clients, they were struggling with the difficult personal decision of the fate of the home. Their father/father-in-law had passed away and their mother/mother-in-law had recently been admitted into a nursing facility and was fighting Alzheimer’s. Resistant to loss of the home now that both parents were out of it, our clients purchased the home to keep in in the family. Despite their permanent home currently being in New Jersey, these clients dedicated themselves to keeping and revitalizing the house. We were moved by the story and became immediately passionate about bringing this dream to life.
The home was built by the parents of our clients and was only ever owned by them, making this a truly special space to the family. Our goal was to revitalize the home and to bring new energy into every room without losing the special characteristics that were original to the home when it was built. In this way, we were able to develop a house that maintains its own unique personality while offering a space of welcoming neutrality for all members of the family to enjoy over time.
The renovation touched every part of the home: the exterior, foyer, kitchen, living room, sun room, garage, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, the laundry room, and everything in between. The focus was to develop a style that carried consistently from space to space, but allowed for unique expression in the small details in every room.
Starting at the entry, we renovated the front door and entry point to offer more presence and to bring more of the mid-century vibe to the home’s exterior. We integrated a new modern front door, cedar shingle accents, new exterior paint, and gorgeous contemporary house numbers that really allow the home to stand out. Just inside the entry, we renovated the foyer to create a playful entry point worthy of attention. Cement look tile adorns the foyer floor, and we’ve added new lighting and upgraded the entry coat storage.
Upon entering the home, one will immediately be captivated by the stunning kitchen just off the entry. We transformed this space in just about every way. While the footprint of the home ultimately remained almost identical, the aesthetics were completely turned on their head. We re-worked the kitchen to maximize storage and to create an informal dining area that is great for casual hosting or morning coffee.
We removed the entry to the garage that was once in the informal dining, and created a peninsula in its place that offers a unique division between the kitchen/informal dining and the formal dining and living areas. The simple light warm light gray cabinetry offers a bit of traditional elegance, along with the marble backsplash and quartz countertops. We extended the original wood flooring into the kitchen and stained all floors to match for a warmth that truly resonates through all spaces. We upgraded appliances, added lighting everywhere, and finished the space with some gorgeous mid century furniture pieces.
In the formal dining and living room, we really focused on maintaining the original marble fireplace as a focal point. We cleaned the marble, repaired the mortar, and refinished the original fireplace screen to give a new sleek look in black. We then integrated a new gas insert for modern heating and painted the upper portion in a rich navy blue; an accent that is carried through the home consistently as a nod to our client’s love of the color.
The former entry into the old covered porch is now an elegant glass door leading to a stunning finished sunroom. This room was completely upgraded as well. We wrapped the entire space in cozy white shiplap to keep a casual feel with brightness. We tiled the floor with large format concrete look tile, and painted the old brick fireplace a bright white. We installed a new gas burning unit, and integrated transitional style lighting to bring warmth and elegance into the space. The new black-frame windows are adorned with decorative shades that feature hand-sketched bird prints, and we’ve created a dedicated garden-ware “nook” for our client who loves to work in the yard. The far end of this space is completed with two oversized chaise loungers and overhead lights…the most perfect little reading nook!
Just off the dining room, we created an entirely new space to the home: a mudroom. The clients lacked this space and desperately needed a landing spot upon entering the home from the garage. We uniquely planned existing space in the garage to utilize for this purpose, and were able to create a small but functional entry point without losing the ability to park cars in the garage. This new space features cement-look tile, gorgeous deep brown cabinetry, and plenty of storage for all the small items one might need to store while moving in and out of the home.
The remainder of the upstairs level includes massive renovations to the guest hall bathroom and guest bedroom, upstairs master bed/bath suite, and a third bedroom that we converted into a home office for the client.
Some of the largest transformations were made in the basement, where unfinished space and lack of light were converted into gloriously lit, cozy, finished spaces. Our first task was to convert the massive basement living room into the new master bedroom for our clients. We removed existing built-ins, created an entirely new walk-in closet, painted the old brick fireplace, installed a new gas unit, added carpet, introduced new lighting, replaced windows, and upgraded every part of the aesthetic appearance. One of the most incredible features of this space is the custom double sliding barn door made by a Denver artisan. This space is truly a retreat for our clients!
We also completely transformed the laundry room, back storage room, basement master bathroom, and two bedrooms.
This home’s massive scope and ever-evolving challenges were thrilling and exciting to work with, and the result is absolutely amazing. At the end of the day, this home offers a look and feel that the clients love. Above all, though, the clients feel the spirit of their family home and have a welcoming environment for all members of the family to enjoy for years to come.

This kitchen remodel was designed to make a statement—balancing bold character with refined craftsmanship to create a space that’s both highly functional and visually unforgettable.
At the heart of the design is a striking contrast palette. Crisp white perimeter cabinetry keeps the space bright and open, while rich black lower cabinets and a substantial island ground the room with depth and sophistication. The oversized island serves as both a functional workspace and a central gathering point, topped with a dramatic stone surface that adds movement and texture.
The flooring plays a defining role in the overall aesthetic. A custom black-and-white patterned tile layout introduces energy and personality, transforming the kitchen into a true design centerpiece while maintaining a timeless appeal. This bold foundation is thoughtfully balanced by clean lines, classic shaker cabinetry, and elegant hardware selections.
Functionality was a key driver throughout the project. The layout maximizes workflow efficiency with dedicated zones for cooking, prep, and cleanup. A professional-grade range anchors the island, while the farmhouse sink positioned beneath large windows brings in natural light and enhances the everyday experience. Custom storage solutions—including extended cabinetry, integrated dish storage, and built-in appliance areas—ensure everything has its place without compromising the clean aesthetic.
Lighting was carefully layered to elevate both form and function. Statement pendant fixtures above the island add architectural interest, while recessed lighting provides consistent illumination throughout the space.
The result is a kitchen that feels both elevated and livable—where bold design choices meet practical everyday use. It’s a space designed not just to cook in, but to gather, entertain, and truly enjoy.
