Dover Place Remodel

 

Austin, TX 2025

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Dover Place was a significant remodel and re-decoration of a recently built spec-house that required “tailoring” by its initial owners. We worked diligently with the owners and a large team of adjacent designers to bring personality, character, and warmth to a house that was otherwise quite neutral.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The brief involves substantial modifications to the ground floor social spaces, main staircase, and design for the back garden patio and pool areas.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The primary social spaces were enhanced through colour materiality to convey the owner’s personality and interests. One of the central aims was to make the ”house” feel like a “home” for both owners and their frequent guests.

 
 
 
 
 
 

One of the most rewarding aspects of working on Dover was getting into conversations about the owner’s interests and pursuits outside work and finding ways to celebrate that in the design. From preparing gourmet food to enjoying a fine collection of spirits, the new design painstakingly created unique environments through custom designed cabinetry and unique art and fittings.

Much emphasis was placed on creating pleasant, fun, and relaxing outdoor spaces of the house. A new steel trellis was designed along with adjacent outdoor kitchen, and recreation spaces were created through a new swimming pool and playground for children.
