Allen Modern Home

Project Details

Located in Austin, this project involved transforming the entryway of a traditional-style home for a young, vibrant family with a modern design aesthetic. The homeowners wanted to reimagine the space to better reflect their personal style while enhancing the home's overall curb appeal.

Scope of Work

Reimagined and redesigned the home’s entryway to create a broader, more modern, and inviting space while integrating functional and aesthetic improvements.

Design Approach

We replaced the traditional entry with a broad, clean concrete and paver pathway. Integrated lighting and monolithic concrete walls were designed to extend into the lawn as the grade fell, adding depth and visual interest. Geometric planters with bright, xeric, and succulent planting completed the transformation to a modern aesthetic.

Challenges & Solutions

The original entryway was small and uninviting, with large brick planters blocking the front door. We addressed this by creating a broader, cleaner pathway with monolithic concrete walls and geometric planters, adding depth and modern appeal. Integrated lighting and vibrant plantings transformed the space into a welcoming, contemporary focal point.
