Would you keep them exposed? 👇

Project complete! 🔑 After 14 months, this Lakeway dream home is officially done.

Located in Lakeway, Texas, this custom build by Art Village is nearly 5,000 square feet of modern European style.


It has 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, a half bath, and a home office. Big windows and sliding doors bring in natural light and open up to the pool and outdoor living space.
The interior brings it all together. Designer wallpaper, natural stone, smart home tech, and a kitchen made for hosting. The bathrooms feel like a private spa.


Outside, there's a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen setup, and a covered lounge area, all just minutes from Lake Travis, golf, and downtown Lakeway.


14 months of planning and building went into this home.

Your framer speaks Spanish. I speak broken English. Together we explain why your slope house costs $50,000 more. Somehow it works. 👇
In this video we break down the real differences between framing on a slope vs flat ground - elevations, wall heights, sequencing, cantilevers, safety, and why the same 5,000 sq ft house costs nearly 3X more to frame on a slope. Plus our master framer shares what most contractors get wrong every single time.

#doors #soliddoors #hollowdoors Just posted something that's going to save a lot of you $10,000+ on your next build. After installing 400 doors across 20 houses, I finally broke down the real numbers: premium doors cost $2,000 in the US, but I get the exact same door imported for $700. Even basic solid doors cost the same as Home Depot hollow doors - but way better quality.

The craziest part? Most builders have no idea this is even possible. They just walk into Home Depot and overpay. Full breakdown is live now - link in comments. Question: have you ever imported building materials? What surprised you most about the process?
