The Barrera House is located on a half-size lot within a historical district downtown. Despite it's compact footprint, the house feels expansive with views to the landscape, lap pool, and city beyond. The Barrera House is expected to be the first single-family home to achieve Build San Antonio's Green Platinum top level certification.

Space Station
In Progress 2024 | 2,100 SF Studio & Shop | San Antonio TX
Contractor: Long House Builders
Built as a trucking transfer station in the 1940's, this cast-in-place concrete building has been transformed into a shared design studio and workshop. The 0.4 acre site, formerly a parking lot, is being converted into a native prairie grassland. Deep-rooted plantings provide ecosystem services to the downtown, including carbon sequestration, mitigation of the heat-island effect, stormwater retention, and habitat for wildlife and pollinator species.​

Honey Creek
On hold | 1,700 SF Residence | Lakeway TX
​
A high-performing yet small home perched on a ledge, the Honey Creek house opens toward the southeastern breezes and views down the valley. Net-positive energy and rainwater capture and reuse systems are formative to the design, allowing a growing family to live within the means their climate provides. Composed of "caves" and "treehouses", the home connects its residents to nature at every level.
