Gunn Design Group, pllc

When we purchased our house in 2016 it came with a very well used batting cage on a 15' X 60' slab located in our sloped backyard. Having no use for one, we dreamed of building some sort of entertainment structure on it. Gunn Design was partnered with Virtuoso builders whom we had hired to build our vision. Jim visited the property, listened to our ideas and sketched out our thoughts. It wasn't long before we fondly began calling it the Party Barn. We wanted to keep and view as much of the nearby natural landscape as possible, which was accomplished by installing 4 glass garage doors that made up a portion of the outer walls. Run off water from hard rains that would affect the structure dictated some of the design, as did placement of an outdoor grill area due to frequent strong Texas winds. It was important to us to repurpose kitchen cabinets and granite that were being removed from our home and Jim flawlessly incorporated them into the kitchenette. The opposite end of the slab was extended by a few feet to include a fireplace just off the outdoor patio seating area. Another extension to the side of the slab included a wood deck. At a later date, Jim designed an authentic looking and functioning outhouse near the Party Barn. We have received countless compliments on both structures. Jim was always professional, good humored and fun to work with and we would highly recommend him for your projects.

When you decide to build your dream kitchen, you really can’t comprehend how much work goes into that type of a project (unless you are in that line of work). It is easy to pick appliances that you love, backsplashes that are trendy, and even narrow done your favorite paint color. What is most difficult is trying to take your existing kitchen space and trying to transform it in your mind to what you want it to be. Jim Gunn was hired as our architect and we had several very simple requests ; ). “Please make our kitchen larger, give us a giant island (even though there wasn’t any space), double our storage areas, make us a walk-in butler’s pantry, and oh yeah…please take our current kitchens odd angles and make it a traditional squared off room to maximize cabinet layouts.” Well, Jim did just that. He was able to see what we couldn’t. He listened, he took notes and he measured. He was able to give us several choices which he provided in online 3D layouts to review. The computer program he used was amazing and you could zoom in and rotate and truly imagine what your “dream” kitchen might really look like. Once our project was complete, we had our dream kitchen. My wife and I give Jim our highest recommendation for professionalism, quality of work, and friendliness. If you are considering any size renovation project and need a creative, intelligent and sincere partner to collaborate with, then Jim Gunn is your man.

We hit it off right away with Jim. He understood what I was trying to get across and put on paper, better than what I was envisioning. He is always willing to talk through my (crazy), somewhat confusing, ideas and come up with the concept. He is always professional and fun to work with. He has a lot of great ideas which made the plan come together. We love the plan and hope to get started later in 2017 building in Boerne Tx Hill Country. I hope he shares his plans on his website. The quality of his work is awesome!

Jim Gunn is a joy to work with. While remaining professional, his kindness and charming personality are a pleasure. He is very patient and pays close attention to the customers desires and takes the extra time to communicate and answer any questions you might have. Even though his part in the design of our home is over, he remains available to answer any future questions that might arise during the build.

Patient, Creative & Responsive. Working with Jim has been a real pleasure. He was able to turn our conflicting (what he wants vs. what she wanted) statements into a GREAT Floorplan that we're both really excited to build now.
