Summary–Braes Heights, New Construction

The previous house on this location was severely damaged by the flooding from Hurricane Harvey and was ultimately demolished to make way for this new home. A beautiful craftsman style construction that was required to meet the new Harris County construction requirements for building in flood zones, meet the approval of the existing Homeowners Association, and comply with HCAD’s restriction on size for tax valuation purposes.

This design included, 3-bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, large open-concept living area, study, formal dining room, first floor master suite, huge 2-car garage and plenty of storage.  The home is comfortable, and yet has high utilization in all livable areas.  The curb appeal is amazing, and the house is ready to withstand any future weather disasters.

  • “What I really liked about Tim was that he was creative, but, at the same time, very cost conscious—he avoided changes than would drive up the cost of the renovation.  In addition, he was not tied to any pre-conceived designs or ideas.  He listened to us and gave us what we wanted.  With all of this he was able to deliver the plans on time and within his original estimate.”
    - Hannah W.
  • “We can't recommend Tim enough for his design services. He took an awkward master suite in our 1960s home and created a beautiful design that took advantage of every inch of space. Tim was extremely responsive throughout the process and provided high quality designs on a fast turnaround. We are so happy with the final space and Tim will be the first person we call if we decide to do additional renovations.”
