Residential Design | Marfa, Texas | High Desert

A house organized around shadow, where concrete holds the cool and corten takes the sun.

Precedents:
— Tubac House by Rick Joy, Arizona | weathering steel and desert light
— Koshino House by Tadao Ando | the discipline of board-formed concrete

Process: Rhino 8 → Substance Painter → D5 Render → Photoshop

“I believe in the importance of shadows.” — Tadao Ando

Good design lives in the section. Where structure, material, and proportion meet into one masterpiece.

Proper site design is architecture. The retaining wall sets the grade, the catch basins move the water, the fence defines the edge, and none of it works unless all parts of it work.

Designed, engineered, and permitted as one deliverable. That’s the studio model.

Residential Design | Truro, Massachusetts | Outer Cape Cod

A weekend retreat settled into the dunes, where the Atlantic sets the palette and the wind does the weathering.

Precedents:
— Longbranch Cabin by Jim Olson, Washington | For how a pitched roof can still feel quiet

— Dune House by Bates Masi + Architects, Long Island | For coastal restraint and a material palette that earns its silver patina

Process: Rhino 8 → Substance Painter → D5 Render → Photoshop

“God is in the details.” — Mies van der Rohe

We designed it. We permitted it. It got built!

Swipe to see this exterior — HD 3D render, watercolor presentation, and the first render.

Most contractors have to manage their designer AND find an engineer AND figure out the city permit process themselves. We handle all three so you can stay focused on landing the next job.

Design. Plans. Permits. One call. Done.

Your client doesn’t need to imagine it. We show them!

Swipe to see this backyard sitting area in watercolor, and 3D render, after it was built and permitted.

Three ways to present a design. One firm that takes it all the way from concept to city-approved to constructed.

While your crew is focused on the build, we’re handling the plans, the engineering, and the building department. That’s the whole point.

DM us PROJECT — design is just the beginning.

Most contractors have a designer. Not everyone has someone who takes it all the way to approved!

That’s where we come in.
We handle the full permit package — architectural drawings, engineering, city submissions. You stay on the job. We handle the building department.
Your design firm AND your permit partner. One call. One team.

The design is only half the job!

Once your backyard is designed - pergola, patio, outdoor kitchen, ALL of it — someone still has to take it to the city. Drawings, structural engineering, permit submission, approvals.

That’s where most contractors get stuck. That’s exactly what we handle.
One firm. Design to permitted. Done.

DM us PROJECT and we’ll take it from concept to city-approved.

Most design firms hand you a render and call it done.

We hand you a watercolor, a 3D visualization, and a full permit-ready package — because your client needs to fall in love with it AND your city needs to approve it.

Two things most firms only do one of. We do both!
