Buttonbush Remodel

This newly renovated saltbox-style home in The Woodlands, Texas, is a project completed in collaboration with Paula Bullard Design. The renovation encompasses both the exterior and interior, transforming the entire property. The vision for the exterior was to preserve the classic saltbox design while adding a modern twist, featuring crisp, sharp edges and natural materials.

The combination of stone and smooth stucco enhances the facade, creating a sense of movement. The color palette for both the exterior and interior includes neutral whites, beiges, natural wood, and black accents. Paula Bullard Design’s interior finishes make the home feel modern, cozy, and luxurious. Standout features include the impressive kitchen, master bathroom, and living room, all flooded with natural light.

Rosedown Circle Remodel

The Rosedown Circle Remodel turned a maze-like layout into an open-concept living and kitchen space which redefined the heart of the home. We removed key interior partitions, creating a seamless flow between the living room and kitchen. The addition of large windows and glass doors leading to the extended outdoor patio opens up the space and floods it with natural light. The addition of a sleek metal roof modernizes the exterior and provides shelter for the expanded outdoor kitchen, allowing homeowners to entertain seamlessly through indoors and outdoors. This open layout not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the house but also encourages a more communal and interactive lifestyle.

The project is a collaboration with Sneller Custom Homes and Remodeling.

Timber Top Remodel

This contemporary home addition and renovation project in The Woodlands, Texas, is a stunning transformation that seamlessly blends modern design elements with natural materials. The exterior features a combination of wood veneers, black yakisugi wood siding, and white mortar wash, creating a harmonious contrast between the warmth of wood and the sleekness of black siding. This mix of materials not only enhances the aesthetics but also promotes durability and sustainability.

Inside, a daring and stylish approach was taken in spaces like the bathroom, where a bold pink color scheme has been employed. The use of pink, complemented by gold and patina accents, adds a sense of luxury and personality to the bathroom. This color palette creates a vibrant and eclectic ambiance that breaks away from traditional design norms, making the space both visually striking and inviting.

Overall, this contemporary home addition and renovation successfully blends a mix of materials for a stunning exterior, maximizes natural light through large windows and skylights, and introduces creative and unique design elements, to create a truly remarkable and modern living space.

Memorial Remodel

The Memorial Remodel project is an extensive redesign of an existing home in the Memorial area of Houston, Texas. The scope of the redesign includes expanding the existing Owner’s Suite to capture the space currently allocated to a guest bedroom, to give the Owner’s Suite more space to be truly amazing. We are also removing multiple load-bearing walls in the first floor living area to connect the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. On the second floor we proposed an addition that would allow for a second bathroom, larger bedrooms and closets, and a game room area.

Dorothea Lane Remodel

The Dorothea Lane Remodel is a series of proposed exterior improvements that can enhance the curb appeal of an existing home. The current façade is solid brick, with a combination of arched windows and color schemes that make the home… shall we say… unappealing. The homeowners asked for two remodel options, a “base” option that would require a minimal amount of time and money to complete, and a “deluxe” option that would include all the bells and whistles. When designing the options, we decided to offer a third alternative, which we call the “super deluxe”, which transforms the whole architectural style of the home. I wonder, can you guess which proposed option is which?

Feather Glen Remodel

The Feather Glen Remodel is located in Katy, Texas. The homeowners had a vision of wanting to update the entire home one space at a time, but didn’t know where to begin. They did not want to finance the construction, and therefore needed to break the entire project up into bite-size pieces. The challenge, therefore, was coordinating each small step along the way so that the home looks and feels like a cohesive space even in the midst of a long-term remodel project. Moment Architects provided a consultation with the homeowner to discuss the possibilities, and gave guidance on simple first steps, such as paint colors they could use to repaint the entire interior without limiting their material selections further down the road. Our direct involvement was not needed on all areas of the project, but where we did offer our design services was in the kitchen, master bathroom, and master closet.

Lazy Springs

The Lazy Springs Remodel was an exciting opportunity to take an old, cramped, and dilapidated house in Lazy Springs, and transform it into a spacious, comfortable, and inviting home. This was a Design/Build collaboration between Moment Architects and Luminous Homes. The scope included removing two load-bearing walls that were previously separating the kitchen, living room, and dining room, and installing flush beams in the ceiling to create a seamless open floor plan providing increased natural light and better flow through the house. We also demolished the existing single bathroom, and built two new bathrooms in it’s place; one serving the master suite and another serving the secondary bedrooms. We replaced all the existing single-pane windows with new energy-efficient double-pane windows, replaced the existing termite-infested wood floors with all new Rigid Core flooring in the living areas, Porcelain tile in the bathrooms, and plush carpet in the bedrooms. We gutted the original kitchen and added a new island, new modern cabinetry, new appliances, and beautiful quartz counter tops. We installed all new Kohler plumbing fixtures throughout the house, as well as all new LED lighting. We also completely replaced the existing HVAC system, ran all new PEX plumbing, completely rewired the house to meet current electrical codes, and installed a new tankless gas water heater. The exterior and interior both received new coats of paint, and we salvaged the natural cedar wainscot in the dining room and painted it a clean, crisp white. There was an existing guest house behind the main house that originally included two bedrooms, a bathroom, a tight and oddly shaped living room, and a laundry room. We gutted the guest house and converted it into a Mother-In-Law Suite, complete with a master bedroom, master bathroom, master closet, laundry room, kitchenette, breakfast area, and living room.
