In Spring 2026, homebuyers in Houston are increasingly looking for one-bedroom condos due to a shift towards a more balanced, buyer-friendly market. With rising inventory and stabilizing mortgage rates, many buyers are choosing one-bedroom units as an accessible entry point into homeownership, allowing them to build equity rather than paying rent. Whilst one-bedroom units are often considered to be compact and have a small footprint, that is not always the case. One-bedroom condominiums at The Parklane range in size from 825 sq. Ft. To 1,310 sq. Ft. and all of the residences have at least one private balcony.

Studio Terrain recreated this outdoor entertaining after a major home extension. Taking advantage of sweeping 180 degree views of the Puget sound, Orca Pods, Humpback whales and the Olympic mountains, the design allows for maximum view corridors from the inside while still providing space for 40+ guests. Utilizing a louvered roof system and overhead heat for four seasons entertaining, the wood fired pizza oven provides a central gathering point year round. The lawn was engineered to the same specs as world class soccer fields providing fast draining lawn use in the wettest seasons. A clean concrete lawn edge is actually a hidden structural retaining wall with pin piles to stabilize the slope edge.

The precast concrete walls are put up in 12 foot long panels, fitted between the columns which have a notch that stabilizes the panels. Stones are part of the mold and then faux painted by hand to create the look of real stone veneer. all photos by John Stuart Leslie

Whether you know exactly what you want from the start or need us to ask the right questions to settle on something, our first goal is to listen. Then, we work with the land and your budget to bring it all to life. Types of Fencing Cedar Chain Link Steel What to Expect with a Fencing Project: We will ask you questions about materials, fence height, whether you have a sloped hill, and what types of finish work you want. This could range from a standard cedar fence to a lattice top horizontal fence with post caps and a top plate for squirrels to run along. Some areas in Oregon have harder clay soil, so we incorporate steel posts to stabilize cedar fences without compromising appearance. Ultimately, we work with any vision that you have in mind, and we will try to address your biggest concerns while keeping the landscape in mind. If your fence is falling or broken, a fix may be a temporary solution until you can budget for a replacement. A lot of fences won’t last even once they’re repaired, so consider whether a repair is worth the investment. Financing options are available. We offer an active military and veterans discount as a way to say thank you for your service. We invite you to visit our website to learn more
