Every once in a while, a project comes along that doesn’t just meet expectations—it resets the standard. That’s exactly what happened at Upper Valley project, where the team at GoDesigns El Paso was entrusted with a blank canvas and turned it into a fully integrated luxury retreat, built with precision, purpose, and passion. At the core of this dream backyard is a custom-designed pool and spa, meticulously planned and built together. The pool glows with a Pebble Brilliance finish, its deep, vibrant tones shimmering under sunlight by day and glowing softly under water-lit skies at night. Lightstreams glass tile adds a jewelry-like elegance to the raised spa and the sun shelf, creating rich reflections and textures from every angle. That sundeck isn’t just for lounging—it’s a tactile, thoughtful experience. Designed with Lightstreams glass tile, it’s where kids play, grownups cool off, and everyone can dip their toes and soak their feet in style. It’s as inviting to walk across as it is to sit beside, offering both elegance and functionality. A standout design element is the set of custom stainless steel handrails, elegantly curved and installed with sculptural intent. Not only are they beautiful, but they’re also built to last—resistant to corrosion, timeless in design, and made for safety without sacrificing aesthetics. While beauty was key, so was resilience. The entire project was engineered to meet 100-year flood zone requirements—a critical design element in this El Paso neighborhood. GoDesigns accounted for water flow, elevations, and structural integrity, ensuring that every footing, drainage channel, and grade slope works in harmony with nature. And there’s more than water to love here. The oversized mossrock boulder waterfall along the edge of the putting green is both functional and artistic. Designed as a “table rock” feature, it creates soothing sound and visual movement while anchoring the landscape’s natural side. It’s a conversation piece as much as a sensory experience. Just steps away is a personal putting green and a custom basketball half court, both thoughtfully illuminated for day-to-night enjoyment. The putting green rolls true, edged with boulders and sand pits, while the court boasts pro-level surfacing under bright, architectural pole lighting. The surrounding landscape design ties it all together. Carefully chosen plantings bring color, texture, and balance to the clean stonework and turf areas. Strategic lighting highlights not just the beauty of the plants, but also enhances safety, drama, and ambiance across the entire yard—including the fence lines, water features, and sports zones. Every inch of this Upper Valley Project was built for purpose, performance, and passion. It’s a space where families gather, grand kids play, and memories are made—all under the sun and stars of West Texas. This is what happens when GoDesigns El Paso gets to do what they do best: combine timeless design, elite materials, and masterful installation to create outdoor living environments that are not only beautiful, but unforgettable.

This stylish kitchen remodel blends clean lines with functional design. At the heart of the space, a stainless-steel gas range and matching microwave take center stage, perfectly framed by white shaker cabinets and sleek quartz countertops.

Paired with durable wood-look vinyl plank flooring, this kitchen is designed for both aesthetic appeal and everyday performance. The neutral palette, smart storage, and stainless finishes make this kitchen a contemporary classic.

The luxurious home bar we designed includes a separate bar sink, a wine fridge, and modern storage solutions, seamlessly blending clean lines with a contemporary kitchen aesthetic.
The screened porch upgrade featured stamped concrete flooring, unique board and batten accents, and a flat-screen TV, transitioning effortlessly into an outdoor grilling station and fire pit area. This versatile outdoor space now combines modern countertops, custom millwork, and eco-friendly materials to offer year-round usability.

Stunning Backyard Transformation: 2400 Square Feet of Elegance
We’re thrilled to showcase our latest project, completed during the week of November 18, 2024—a breathtaking 2400-square-foot backyard makeover paired with a swimming pool renovation. This project highlights the perfect blend of functionality, luxury, and natural beauty, all brought to life by our skilled team.
One of the standout features of this transformation is the use of Pennsylvania Bluestone, a timeless and versatile material. The Bluestone was meticulously installed throughout the patio and walkway areas, bringing a cohesive and elegant look to the outdoor space. Even the firepit cap was crafted using Pennsylvania Bluestone, ensuring every detail aligned with the high-quality vision for this design.
The original patio was a mix of outdated materials, including old flagstone, stamped concrete, and plain concrete. By replacing these with Pennsylvania Bluestone, we created a seamless and sophisticated outdoor retreat. The result is a backyard that not only elevates the aesthetic appeal but also increases the property’s value and functionality.
For a closer look at this incredible transformation, we invite you to browse our collection of before-and-after photos. Witness how this backyard evolved from a dated, mismatched space into a stunning outdoor oasis, perfect for relaxation and entertainment.

Our client approached us with the goal of revamping their outdated kitchen into a bright, open, and functional space. They envisioned a fresh, contemporary look with lighter, white-toned cabinetry to create an airy atmosphere. At the same time, they wanted to introduce contrast by incorporating wood-toned flooring, adding depth and character to the design.
One of the standout features of this renovation was the addition of a free-standing range hood, chosen to bring a sleek, modern touch while also serving as a unique focal point in the kitchen. Every element was carefully selected and crafted using the highest quality materials, ensuring both durability and elegance.
From concept to completion, bringing our client’s vision to life was an exciting journey for our team. The result is a spacious, inviting, and highly functional family kitchen—perfectly balancing style and practicality. Our client is beyond pleased with the outcome, and we are thrilled to have turned their dream kitchen into reality.

The photo showcases a newly renovated basement that has been transformed from a damp and potentially hazardous space into a warm and inviting living area. The renovation process began with water-proofing the basement to prevent any future water damage. The space was then updated with gray carpet, providing a comfortable and stylish flooring option. The addition of new framing and drywall gives the basement a fresh and modern look, while also providing improved insulation and soundproofing. The renovation has effectively maximized the basement's potential, making it a functional and attractive living space. The combination of form and function in this renovation make it a standout addition to the home. The renovation also includes a completely transformed bathroom addition with waterproofing vinyl flooring, marble tile, and slab plumbing for the vanity, shower, and toilet.

This comprehensive main floor remodel transformed a dated early-2000s home into a warm, distinctive space tailored for modern family life and effortless entertaining. Located in Northwest Indiana, the home’s renovation included the kitchen, living room, dining-to-sitting room conversion, office, mudroom, and laundry—each space reimagined with layered detail and a cohesive design language.
The project’s primary goal was to move away from builder-grade finishes and create a home full of character and comfort. In the kitchen, we reworked the layout to improve flow—removing a restrictive peninsula, extending the island for added seating, and designing a custom hood and cabinetry plan that worked around existing structural beams. A warmer palette of earth tones and neutrals reflected the clients’ personal style, while upgraded lighting, a statement range, and a larger pantry elevated functionality.
A double-sided fireplace connecting the kitchen and living room was redesigned to feel more intentional, with cohesive materials used on both faces. In the living area, a previously underwhelming wet bar became a standout moment with deep green cabinetry, a wine fridge, and built-in storage—adding both function and sophistication.
Throughout the project, structural limitations and narrow footprints presented design challenges that were met with custom solutions—from a uniquely shaped island to intentional lighting plans that worked around ceiling beams. The final result is a highly personal, connected series of spaces that support both everyday routines and meaningful moments of gathering—infused with warmth, purpose, and a relaxed sense of luxury.
