WL3 DesignsDesigned and realized by WL3 Designs, The Albero Respite is a paradigm of contemporary minimalist architecture, where serene simplicity meets functional elegance. Named after the Italian word for 'tree', the home pays homage to the solitary olive tree gracing its courtyard, symbolizing peace and resilience.
This single-story structure emerges from the landscape with clean lines and expansive glass facades that dissolve the barriers between indoor space and the natural world outside. White, the dominant hue, serves not just as a design choice but as a canvas for the play of light and shadow, changing with the sun’s whims.
WL3 Designs has meticulously crafted each element of The Albero Respite to embody the principles of sustainable design while providing a haven of tranquility.
The home's orientation and glazing are engineered to optimize natural light and promote passive heating and cooling, reducing the need for artificial climate control. It stands as a testament to the possibility of living in harmony with nature without forgoing modern luxury and comfort.
Designing for the desert requires in-depth understanding of the extreme temperatures that range here.
From freezing temperatures in the winter to blistering hot ones in the summer, the region contains every extreme, and the homes that are built in it must also. Rains and wind, endless sunshine, these are all elements that we considered when designing for this region.
In addition to using modern strategies, we referred to ancient design concepts embraced by native people for generations, combining the two to create modern homes in this timeless, desert environment.

Driftwood Builders RoofingJust wrapped up a beautiful standing seam metal roof project in Westlake for a homeowner looking to upgrade both the appearance and performance of their roofing system. The previous roof was beginning to show signs of age and weather wear, so the new metal roofing system was selected for its durability, clean modern look, and ability to better withstand Central Texas storms.
The installation included a full roof replacement with upgraded synthetic underlayment, custom flashing work, ventilation improvements, and premium metal panels engineered for long-term weather resistance. Special attention was given to waterproofing details, roof transitions, valleys, and ventilation to help maximize the lifespan and efficiency of the system.
Metal roofing continues to be a strong option for homes in Westlake and throughout Austin because it offers excellent resistance to hail, wind, UV exposure, and heavy rain while also reducing maintenance needs over time. Standing seam systems are especially popular on custom and luxury homes due to their sleek architectural style and long-lasting performance.
Our team worked closely with the homeowner throughout the process to ensure the project stayed organized, clean, and professionally managed from inspection through final walkthrough. If you are searching for standing seam metal roofing in Westlake, luxury roof replacement in Austin, energy-efficient roofing systems, or premium metal roof contractors near you, a professionally installed metal roof can provide both long-term protection and elevated curb appeal.

Earthscape - Landscape Design & BuildThe goal of this project was to transform the existing decrepit landscape into a newly modern space with the purpose of entertaining family and friends. The clients also wanted a hint of ‘steam-punk’ incorporated into the overall theme.
To achieve the wants and needs of the client a new composite deck was installed with an angular form to maximize space on an already tight backyard with large setbacks. A swim spa was built into the deck and a secret hatch door was installed for any future maintenance. Large angled steps lead you from the deck down to the new random flagstone patio.
A large custom pavilion was installed over the patio to shelter users from the elements. Oversized rough Douglas Fir posts and beams were used along with some black powder coated steel bars to achieve the steam punk theme. Extensive engineering was involved to achieve the cantilevered look and reduce the need for an outside post. Tongue and groove cedar planks make up the ceiling of the structure along with LED pot lights. 3 pieces of sandblasted Eramosa stone acts as a bar area for users in the newly installed hot tub. Lastly a frosted glass privacy screen with LED colour changing lights separates the sitting area under the pavilion and the barbecue area of the deck.
Some existing plants and shrubs were salvaged during construction and were reused in the new low maintenance-planting plan. A new section of fence closes off the backyard for the homeowner’s dogs and a new gate was created with the use of steel bars to mirror the pavilion.
