The Wesson Residence, in progress

A complete, top-to-bottom renovation of a five-level hillside home in Austin. Every level is being taken back and rebuilt: new windows, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, doors, plaster, and a new exterior, down to the pool and site walls. This is where it starts. We'll add photos as work continues.
