The Tabby Lofts is a mixed-use commercial building in Rosemary Beach, with parapets, smooth stucco and shutters typical of a Town Center building. A bookstore fills the first floor and residential units are on the upper floors. Balconies and terraces allow views to the Town Square.

Mahogany is a lakeside traditional neighborhood development in central Texas located on the north shore of Lake Travis just outside of the city limits of Austin. I led a team of designers who worked with Equilibrium Resorts to plan this new urban community in the area known as the “gateway to the Texas Hill Country”. The international design team brought an Italianate sensibility to the planning, taking ques from century-old organic, walk-able Italian towns.

This Orleans is just off the Town Square in Rosemary Beach next to the Town Hall. This mixed-use building will feature a first floor restaurant and rooftop bar as well as retail space on the first floor. The second and third floors are residential units along with a 4th floor penthouse unit. Each unit will have large terraces and balconies looking out to the Gulf of Mexico. The rooftop bar will no doubt be the place to be to watch the sunsets.

POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE
TEXAS| Maverick | Possum Kingdom Lake | Texas |

January 31, 2016

Asked their favorite retreat, Texans consistently rank Possum Kingdom Lake at the top. Located 75 miles west of Fort Worth, the lake’s length – 65 miles – and its clarity thanks to a unique limestone floor – make it a rarity in the region. I led a team of designers who helped Equilibrium Resorts plan a new urban community along a nine-mile stretch of view-rich shoreline. The international design team brought an Italianate sensibility to the planning, taking ques from century-old organic, walk-able Italian towns. Of course, all is still in keeping with the legacy of the Lone Star State.
