DESIGNING THE SPACE BETWEEN INDOORS AND OUT
Outdoor living is where architecture meets atmosphere — where structure gives way to sky and everyday life moves outside. We create outdoor spaces that feel as thoughtfully designed as any room in your home, blending comfort, craftsmanship, and creativity in every detail.
OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Great outdoor design is all about balance. Form, function, and feeling should work together in every part of the space. We choose layouts, materials, and finishes with care, making sure they hold up over time while still feeling warm, inviting, and timeless.
We think about how the space flows — how you move from inside to out, how you host, and how you unwind. It’s not just about the structure itself. It’s about the moments that happen in it.
OUR PROCESS
We believe the best builds start with a solid process. We value clarity, collaboration, and efficiency, so you always know what’s next.
1. DESIGN
Every project begins with a walkthrough and a conversation. We learn how you use your space, then design something functional, beautiful, and easy to live with.
2. BUILD
From there, we refine the design together, adjusting materials, features, and scope to fit your budget and priorities.
3. INSTALL
With plans in hand, our team gets to work. We handle final installations and walkthroughs with precision and care, ensuring every detail is complete and built to last.

OUTDOOR LIVING, AUSTIN STYLE
There’s no better city for outdoor living than Austin. Our designs make the most of it by using natural materials, thoughtful shade, and open-air layouts that work with the Texas climate.
