Acadian
The Best of Regional Architecture
Uniquely American and with a rich French lineage, the Acadian architectural styles, with their new-world practicality, have left an indelible mark on us here on the Gulf Coast.
Coastal
The Essence of Seaside Living
Inspired by the beauty of the seaside, Coastal architecture embodies a breezy, relaxed elegance that captures the essence of coastal living. This style, known for its light-filled spaces, airy layouts, and use of natural materials, creates a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Contemporary
Modern Influence
Our inspiration comes from several sources. The starting point is modernism, which started in Europe during the 1920s and softened into mid-century modernism, which spread from the East Coast to the West Coast here in America until the Pacific and Asian-influenced modernism complemented the mid-century movement most frequently seen along the West Coast of both Canada and America.
Craftsman
An American Classic
The Craftsman style, a classic that has warmed the hearts of many since the early 1900s, was born out of the Arts and Crafts movement. This movement was a stark contrast to the ideas of mass production brought on by the Industrial Revolution and the over-decorated aesthetics of the Victorian Era.
English Cottage
The Charm of Countryside Elegance
The English Cottage style, with its roots in the picturesque countryside of England, evokes a sense of warmth and charm that is both timeless and inviting. This style, characterized by its steeply pitched roofs, quaint dormer windows, and rustic stone or brick facades, has become a beloved part of architectural history.
English Country
The Elegance of the English Countryside
Our English Country designs offer a sense of grandeur and elegance combined with a restful and considered approach to modern life. The descriptive term pays esteem to the beautiful, almost make-believe homes scattered amongst the English countryside, from centuries-old cottages to large manor homes.
Farmhouse
The beautiful simplicity of life in the country
The beautiful simplicity of living on land has been resurrected in recent years with the popularization of the Farmhouse style. Originally, these homes were created functionally. European high-farming techniques were brought with the pioneers of the New World, and the concept of the home acre was no exception.
French
Historically Inspired Retreat
Our French Revival is derived from the Chartreuse gentilhommière, country homes historically built as retreats for the gentlemen and ladies living in town. These homes presented a refined architecture and décor that the nobility brought to a provincial setting.
Hill Country
Inspiration from the Heart of Texas
Conjuring up romantic rolling Hill County landscapes, decorated with bluebonnets and acorn trees is what we have come to think about when we discuss the Hill Country. However, the native Texan style has roots in the German immigrant’s traditional building methods combined with the harsh environment they encountered and the materials they found to work with when they arrived.
Mid-Century
Timeless Elegance and Innovation
Mid-century Modern architecture, which grew from the 1940s to the 1960s, is recognized for its clean lines, functional beauty, and seamless integration with nature. This style departs from traditional designs, emphasizing simplicity and a connection to the outdoors.
Rustic European
Italian, Spanish, and French Inspiration
The Rustic European is a huge area, with such a broad range of Architectural Styles. So, we focus in on three key influencers. The first is Palladian Architecture, with its focus on Neo-classicist symmetry, mathematical ratios, and elegance.
Scandinavian
Simplicity and Functionality
Rooted in the minimalistic beauty of Northern Europe, the Scandinavian style is influenced by the beauty and purity of nature. This style, emerging in the early 20th century, emphasizes clean lines, symmetry, natural light, and the harmony between form and function.
Traditional
Classic Elegance and Timeless Charm
The Traditional architectural style embodies classic elegance and timeless charm. Drawing inspiration from historic American homes, this style exudes a sense of familiarity and comfort. With its symmetrical design, gabled roofs, and formal facades,
Transitional
Combining Contemporary with Traditional
Transitional is a style that travels between two destinations, contemporary and traditional. This movement has recently become very popular, but Transitional Architectural Concepts have existed since the 9th century. Transitional is a return to traditionalism but with a more sophisticated and modern approach, reaching back through the centuries and turning to classic European architecture for inspiration.
Tudor
Refined Tradition, Classic Beauty
The Tudor architectural style, with its origins in medieval England, is renowned for its distinctive charm and historic elegance. Characterized by steeply pitched roofs, and embellished doorways. Tudor homes evoke a sense of timeless grandeur and storybook appeal.
Acadian
The Best of Regional Architecture
Uniquely American and with a rich French lineage, the Acadian architectural styles, with their new-world practicality, have left an indelible mark on us here on the Gulf Coast. From the sweeping backdrops of iconic movies to the beautiful homes we drive past, the Acadian-influenced home has become part of the American Architectural tapestry.
