MetamorphosisSaturday, January 9th, 2010We took a few cues from the south Texas hill country in this transformation. Our favorite part? The new entry composed of a glass box atop a stacked stone base.

MetamorphosisWednesday, September 23rd, 2009Welcome to our first installment of another ongoing series of posts. Our main goal with this series is just to have fun designing. Our other goal is to provide vignettes that demonstrate how design can affect our built surroundings. We’ll be finding buildings (homes, commercial or otherwise) that we feel need some design love. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do creating them.
