A Natural Material Palette
stone
Stone is unmatched in compressive strength and has an impressive thermal mass. Stone is primarily used as footing foundations, large pillars, and with fireplaces. Common stones we use are Texas limestone, slate, granite, builders stone, and cobblestone
BRICK
Bricks are are beautiful and a much cheaper form of stone; fired clays create beautiful dishware, containers, and vases; Ceramics are hardy, durable, and glazing creates one of the easiest materials to clean and maintain. Common materials in this category are bricks, terracotta, and glazed ceramics
Wood is perhaps the most diverse material category and can be used from structural elements to the most intricate and ornate details on furniture. Common woods that we use are Red Cedar, Mesquite, Pine, Hickory, and Walnut
WOOD
METAL
Metal provides our tensile strenth for timber structures for doors and cabinets, and a number of mechanical systems. It also is used for beautiful ornaments seen in gutters, window trims, and roof caps. Copper is one of our favorite metals to use because of its beautiful patina and antimicrobial properties. Brass alloys with copper are more typical for hardware on doors and windows
Glass is the way we combine outdoor beauty with indoor conditioning. And we don't limit ourselves to standard glass, but work with low iron glass, stained glass, glass blocks, and aquarium glass to connect spaces that are environmentally incompatible while playing with the beauty of light refraction, reflection, and diffusion
GLASS
Textiles are what bring the warmth and elegance to a home. Acoustical properties, light filtration, and dirt control are all handled by textiles in the forms of rugs, curtains, table runners, sheets, and other soft pieces of the architectural puzzle.
TEXTILE
Leather is another warm and soft addition to the home. Leather brings a texture, a fragrance, and a visual luxury that ties together the formal and the informal, breaks the rigidity of formal rooms and spaces, and softens the edges of the home.

Our Work
THE RESULTS
Using natural materials is not only a sustainable practice, but it creates more beautiful houses that we in turn make into homes. Even the raw construction exudes beauty and love, while the homemaking process that follows is even more unique and grand.
Their Work
THE RESULTS
It is easy to ignore the bland monotony of modern construction by covering it with home decor, colorful paint, or platitudes hung on the wall. but underneath you still have the absolutely soulless brutalism that is our modern houses.
