Our projects vary in size, style and scope -- from starter homes to luxury
estates. In the latter category, these large mansions comprise 50% of our
work. Takeover projects, designs that were started by others and that have
been given over to us to redesign in elevation/ plan and to create interior
details, now make up 30% of our total billings. The projects illustrated
below speak for themselves.

This project was started by another architect and then redesigned in
elevation and interior detailing. We maintained the basic plan, as the
contractor had poured footings and steel had been ordered. (above and

Villa d'Angeli (above), a custom estate which is under construction in north
Houston, is a 26,000 SF design which received its inspiration at mid-point in
the exterior elevation development package. We were commissioned to
re-design the exterior elevations, verify and suggest improvements to the floor
plans, and re-create the interior elevations. The Owner wishes that the
neo-Baroque facade picks up details from the Paris Opera, a 19th century
Beaux-Arts design.

Mere Belle, detail of front entry (below). The original conception was
changed from a somewhat medieval design (see front elevation above) to a
Renaissance Fantasy when turrets, a central arch with voussoirs and more refined
details were incorporated.
Mere Belle, the celebrated eclectic Mediterranean villa in Orlando Florida,
will be remodeled with a domed central Great Room (see above). Several
exterior details have been modified and extra space added to the ground
(basement) level. See Ultra-Custom
Services.

This is a spec home designed for Premier Homes in Austin Texas. We
redesigned the exterior facade and consulted on interior details.
