House 3: Front Perspective

At Elevate Architecture, our main drive is to challenge the status quo of what to expect from everyday architecture. Yes, that involves an understanding of global critical theory as well as regional critical theory, and of course an understanding of how things get built. However, we also are in the business of just bringing back quality design to a place that needs a major dose of the stuff that is made of.

The new home housing market in the Rio Grande Valley is surprisingly robust. One of the products we are developing at our firm is a portfolio of homes that would sit nicely in the suburban landscape of McAllen, Harlingen, or Brownsville. These home designs are sited on existing lots, and will have a thoroughly developed concept for future owners to acquire and then customize to their liking, sort of like a virtual custom home. The project above is an early rendering of our latest addition to that portfolio. Visit our on the boards page in the weeks to come to see more of this luxury custom home infused with some Southern Californian Modern taste.
