Six Projects That Define Our Work

From a 9th-floor downtown rooftop to a forty-acre Hill Country compound — these are the builds we point to when someone asks what we can really do.

Full Outdoor Living

The Independent — Downtown Austin Rooftop

● The Independent residences, downtown Austin

Scope

Amenity-level rooftop outdoor kitchen and entertaining terrace for a high-rise residence.

Materials

Homey Clay Porcelain tiles, Viking and True stainless built-in appliances, Dekton countertops with custom steel brackets.

Features

Twin Viking built-in grills, True refrigeration, dual prep zones, communal dining table for 18+, glass safety rail, planters.

When the project is on the 9th floor, you don't get to take anything back.

The Independent is the building that defines downtown Austin's skyline. Designing and installing a full outdoor kitchen on a high-rise terrace is a different animal than a residential backyard — every appliance had to be staged through service elevators, every base had to land within strict structural tolerances, and the materials had to read as warm and intimate against a glass-and-steel skyline. Homey Clay Porcelain tiles to warm the space, Dekton countertops on custom steel brackets to carry the load, Viking grills and True refrigeration for the built-in package, and a communal dining table seating 18+. This is the build we point to when someone asks whether we handle complex sites. We do.

HWY 290 Hill Country Compound

● Highway 290 corridor, Texas Hill Country

Scope

Full outdoor compound — pavilion, kitchen, pool surround, fire pit, and Adirondack seating.

Materials

Cedar timber-frame pavilion, Hill Country limestone, stamped concrete, natural-stone hardscape.

Features

Covered kitchen & dining, pool-edge lounge, dry-stack stone fire pit, panoramic ranch views.

Forty acres, one sunset view, and a backyard that doesn't need to apologize for any of it.

This was a ground-up outdoor compound built to make the most of one of the best views on the property. The cedar pavilion houses the outdoor kitchen and a six-seat dining table; off the pavilion, a stamped-concrete pad opens onto the pool and a dry-stack fire pit ringed with Adirondacks. We coordinated electrical, gas, plumbing, and drainage across three separate hardscape zones so the homeowners can move from grill to swim to sunset cocktails without ever crossing wet ground. Built by our team, and still one of our favorite projects to drive past at sunset.

Pergolas & Pavilions

Water's Edge — Timber-Frame Covered Patio

● Texas Hill Country

Scope

Timber-frame covered patio expansion with stone-clad columns and outdoor dining area.

Materials

Reclaimed cedar timber, Hill Country chopped limestone columns, large-format porcelain tile.

Features

Vaulted timber ceiling, dual ceiling fans, recessed lighting, wrought-iron chandelier.

Sometimes the brief is simply: make the back of the house feel like the inside of the house.

The homeowners had a beautiful limestone home and a flat slab where the patio used to be. We took it down to grade, set six new stone-clad timber columns to match the architecture of the main house, and framed a vaulted cedar ceiling that picks up the same warm tones as the interior beams. The result is a covered space that reads as an extension of the great room rather than an outdoor add-on. New porcelain decking, two ceiling fans, recessed lighting, and a chandelier give the homeowners three full seasons of usable patio without ever feeling like they've left the house.

Rugged Earth — Pavilion, Fireplace & Full Outdoor Compound

● Austin metro

Scope

Full outdoor compound: timber-frame pavilion with stone fireplace, built-in kitchen, putting green, sport court, and lounge.

Materials

Stained timber-frame pavilion, stacked Hill Country limestone fireplace, flagstone hardscape, premium synthetic turf.

Features

Stacked-stone fireplace with mounted TV, built-in Lynx grill kitchen, 4-hole putting green, basketball half-court, wrought-iron lounge seating.

Pavilion, fireplace, kitchen, putting green, sport court — they wanted all of it.

This client wanted something for the kids, something for themselves, and a yard that looked finished from every angle. We delivered all of it. A timber-frame pavilion anchors the back of the house, with a stacked Hill Country limestone fireplace and mounted TV as the centerpiece. A built-in Lynx kitchen runs the right wall under the same roof. Step out into the lawn and a four-hole synthetic putting green with a chipping fringe handles the dad; a regulation-style half-court handles the kids. The whole site sits on a limestone retaining system designed for Hill Country drainage, with flagstone paths connecting every zone.

Outdoor Kitchens

Lime Creek — Pavilion Kitchen with Talavera Tile

● Lime Creek, Lake Travis area

Scope

Full covered outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion with bar seating, prep zone, and pool surround.

Materials

Stained timber-frame pavilion, Hill Country stone columns, concrete countertops, hand-painted Talavera tile backsplash.

Features

Built-in stainless grill, circular paella / wok burner, draft beer tap, prep sink, bar seating, dining for 6.

Hand-painted tile from Guadalajara, a draft tap, and a paella burner walk into a backyard.

This is the build we point to when someone says they want personality. Most outdoor kitchens are studies in stainless and stone — Lime Creek is what happens when you let the homeowners' story drive the design. The hand-painted Talavera tile backsplash is one of a kind, sourced and laid by hand. The paella burner runs hot enough to char chiles. The draft beer tap is wired to a kegerator hidden in the cabinetry. A timber-frame pavilion ties the kitchen, bar seating, and dining table together under one roof; the slate-paved patio steps directly to the pool. Three rooms in one — and every square foot of it built by our team.

Fire Features

Shallow Water — Ranch-Style Fire Pit Lounge

● Texas Hill Country

Scope

Open-air fire feature and seating terrace adjoining a wraparound porch.

Materials

Mortared limestone fire ring, decomposed-granite seating field, ipe deck, integrated bench.

Features

Gas-fed fire pit with battery ignition, low-stone bench seating for 6, meadow transition.

Five Adirondack chairs, one fire, an unobstructed view of nothing.

Sometimes the best build is the simplest one. The homeowners wanted a single destination at the back of the house where the family could end the day. We set a mortared-limestone fire ring at the center of a decomposed-granite circle, ran a gas line from the house with a battery ignition, and bracketed the ring with a low limestone seat-wall that doubles as a planter edge. The wraparound ipe deck steps down into the gathering space without a railing in the way of the view. Everything is engineered for Texas weather and zero-maintenance use.
