4901 Westfield Dr.
At long last the eclectic little addition we have been working on at 4901 Westfield Dr., here in Austin, has been completed. This eclectic extension of the family home is the perfect area for entertaining guests at parties and accommodating family stays with its arched ceilings and stone fireplace. Here are a few lovely photos by local photographer Michael Force. #addition #residence #remodel #home #architecture #Austin #Texas

Making Austin Solar-Ready
Austin has forever been a progressive city when it comes to the environment. We have gone to great lengths to fight to protect our lakes, green spaces, air quality, and living conditions.
