Custom Built Homes

Designed to match your lifestyle

A custom home is usually the most substantial investment in a lifetime. You deserve to have the best possible experience. Our concierge-level service ensures the process is stress-free and enjoyable for you.

In our experience, the best outcome happens when the owner hires us and the architectural designer at the same time. That allows us to work with the client and designer collaboratively to develop the scope of work, floorplan, specifications, and the timeline for the project to start or be completed.

There are many things you need to know before jumping into the process. While we will be with you every step of the way, it helps to know things like house construction costs, potential issues you might encounter, and other home-building secrets that could save you money and help you avoid stress. 

Every project starts with a budget. Then we craft the project to the client's budget. Sometimes the project has to be done in phases for the budget and construction costs to align.

We guide you through the entire building process and help you make informed choices with confidence. 

We mainly build within the inner loop neighborhoods and west Houston. Below, you'll see examples of homes we built in Sunset Heights, Garden Oaks, the Texas Medical Center, Houston Heights, Bellaire, and East of Downtown. View a full list of areas where we build

Houston Heights

This stunning soft-contemporary home is located in Houston Heights. Designed with the latest trends and sustainable surfaces, this home has soaring ceilings, custom built cabinetry, white oak hardwood floors and beveled edge details throughout.

First-level living features an open kitchen with quartz counters, Thermador appliances and eat-in island and continues into the dining and living space with access to the sizable lush yard. The large master suite has the convenience of a dry bar and treetop views leading you to the ensuite bath featuring Carrera marble, standalone tub, separate shower and massive custom walk-in closet.

Sliding glass doors allow for sprawling entertaining to flow from the game room to the oversized covered terrace with impressive downtown city views.

If you’re looking for a charming area that’s not too far from downtown, features several unique establishments, and has homes that burst with character, then building a custom home in Houston Heights may be the place for you. This area of Houston is often listed as one of the best places to live in the city.

Texas Medical Center

Enter this home through its custom-built front door with dual sidelights, and you realize immediately: It was designed to feel light and bright.

The gorgeous exterior combines the very best of Old Texas Brick and stucco. Boasting spacious, covered porches both front and back gives this already spacious, open layout even more livable space.

With so many beautiful trees protected during design, this home feels like a far-away destination, but is just minutes from the medical center. A farmhouse sink, Thermador appliances, quartz countertops throughout, custom iron stair railings inside and out, a freestanding, clawfoot tub, and custom cabinetry are but a few of its awe-inspiring finishes.

With plenty to do and see within the area, building a custom home in the Texas Medical Center area may be the ideal neighborhood for you. It's a great spot for young professionals or those looking to raise a family, enjoy outdoor activities, or have access to quality medical care and educational opportunities.

Bellaire

This custom-built Bellaire home of over 4500 square feet evokes craftsman elements throughout its interior.  A double island chef's kitchen is great for entertaining. The luxurious owner's suite has marble floors and countertops, a large shower with a clawfoot soaker tub. This was built on the site of the owner's childhood home.

Building a custom home in Bellaire is a great option if you're looking for tree-lined streets, a family-focused community, and top-rated schools. For work, play, and everything life brings in between, the city of Bellaire could be just the place to build your dream home.

EaDo - East of Downtown Houston

This custom-built brick bungalow in East Downtown Houston has a fantastic garage apartment. It has wood windows, hardwood floors throughout, custom cabinets and millwork. The client loved where they lived and replaced the existing home. Now, this home has room for everyone, including guests that can visit and comfortably stay overnight in their own space.  

EaDO was once an industrial area, previously referred to as Houston’s Chinatown. The area has undergone a revitalization in recent years. And with the area exuding so much character and potential, building a custom home East of Downtown Houston may be a great place for you to call home.
