G. H. Residence was conceived less as a house, but more as an extension and outgrowth of the limestone and aquifers of the Central Texas geography. The roof structure is configured so as to create a natural basin for the collection of rainwater, not unlike the vernal pools found in the outcroppings of Enchanted Rock. These basins harness additional natural flows through the use of photovoltaic and solar hot-water panels. The water, electricity and heat which are harvested on the roof tie into an extensive climate conditioning system which utilizes water source heat pumps and radiant loops to supply both the heating and cooling for the residence. The climate system is connected to geothermal ground loops as well as pools and water features thereby establishing a system of heat exchange which minimizes reliance on electricity or gas.
The primary formal gesture of the project inserts two long native limestone walls into the site. The walls serve as the boundary demarking domesticated space with the vegetation outbound of these walls being native while the interior spaces are more lush and tropical. The program of the residence is configured along the stone walls each of which serves as the spine for the public and private wings, respectively. The offset between the main wings establish an exterior courtyard which will serve as an extended living space for much of the year. The siting of the boundary walls and building elements was informed by the presence and preservation of three mature native oaks. The house enjoys close proximity to both Emma Long Metro Park and
West Bull Creek Preserve.

Another unique faux painting idea for a bathroom except that it's tissue paper and not paint this time. The client was thinking wall paper and I was thinking grass cloth, so we came up with this great look...

Sometimes a book's cover, or in this case, the book jacket, is an indication of what is between the boards. The stylish use of the ISBN number and large colorful bar code are emblematic of good modern design. As well as being a dictionary of modern design, this book is also a concise history. It is filled with biographies of individuals, such as Laura Ashley, Charles Eames, and Robert Venturi, as well as entries for styles (Art deco, Danish modern); materials (Bakelite, Chrome, Formica); companies (IKEA, Tupperware, Prada); and more. Each alphabet letter section, from A through XYZ, is introduced by a classic example of modern design. For example, F is illustrated with a photograph of Fiskars scissors; N with a Nokia mobile phone; R with a Rubik's Cube.
The homeowners designed a back patio for their LV Home. The walls are made from sheet metal roofing off the shelf at Lowe's.

These Upholstered stools are made out of a wooden structure with foam, connected with a fabric hinge. They were designed specifically for the break out area of The Levantina Bar to create interaction between the visitors. Analysing the way people congregate, the outcome was that people prefer to seat in circles for better interaction and more privacy. The fabric hinge gives the possibility to be seated in many different ways. Depending on the communication between users the seats can be positioned to accommodate each user’s own space or to connect people on a circle or a line.
