PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Nestled in Fort Worth's highly sought-after University West Neighborhood, just a stone's throw from the prestigious Colonial Country Club, the HVT Residence is a modern transitional home designed to redefine the way our clients live. At 5,700 square feet, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom home strikes a perfect balance of sophistication and comfort – crafted to meet the evolving needs of a growing family while embracing timeless design. 

When our clients came to us, they were living in a more traditional home that no longer fit their lifestyle. is arranged to accommodate an active lifestyle.  They needed something different – something that supported their day-to-day life while elevating the way they experience home. From the beginning, they placed their trust in us to push them beyond their comfort zone, embracing a design that blended their love for classic elements with a fresh, modern perspective. The result? A home that not only inspires their own lives but also turns heads in the neighborhood. 

Designed to create harmony between public and private living spaces, the home offers a thoughtful balance of openess and retreat. A welcoming wraparound porch blurs the boundry between indoors and out, providing a perfect space for quiet morning coffee or casual evening gatherings. Inside, expansive windows surround and frame the backyard living spaces, ensuring natural light pours into every corner while maintaining a strong connection to nature. The heart of the home is seamlessly connected entertaining space – an interior designed for hosting, gathering, and making memories. Upstairs, a dedicated playroom fuels creativity and adventure for the family's youngest members, while the tree-lined backyard frames a large pool, ready for endless summers of connection and joy. 

More than just a beautiful home, the HVT Residence embodies the core of our design philosophy: crafting unforgettable, high-performance spaces that support the well-being of those who live in them. Every material, detail, and design decision was made with intention – ensuring a home that not only looks exceptional but also feels incredible to live in. 

We're honored to showcase the HVT Residence in the 2025 Fort Worth AIA Home Tour and to highlight how true collaboration – between client, architect, interior designer, landscape designer, and contractor – can redefine what a new home can be, as well as the experience of bringing it to life.
