The black locust deck finally has the wood skirt installed at the base, as well as the wood rail cap (to keep you from getting a free tattoo on a hot Texas Summer’s day.)

Another project that we are working on is the renovation and refurbishment of a 1980’s era speculation built office building in Dallas. Once the existing interiors were removed, the building has a nice, clean, open floor plate to work with … the exterior is not so lucky.

Two of them are commercial projects, which should be fun because I typically don’t talk about the commercial work we do here all that often, and the third one is a massive addition/renovation project to one of the premier estate properties here in Dallas.

The entire rear elevation is floor-to-ceiling glass – very expansive views were always an important consideration in the design of the house. The backyard has quite a few really nice trees that all that floor-to-ceiling glass will be able to look upon. Moving around the rear yard looking back towards the house. Growing the alley.

I also don’t design playhouses that can’t be closed in because we also get a lot of mosquitoes in Dallas. On the left-hand side you can see the Dutch door – and on the bottom you can see the screened in openings (they aren’t shaded), and the whole thing sits on a wood deck. considerate Finally, the roof plan.
