This was a fun project for a couple out of Houston. They wanted to phase the project. They wanted a smaller guest house that they could use when in Austin with the intent to build the complete house at a later date.

I think we came up with a great idea of using the garage and utility (which they needed now) to link the guest house to the main house, which also created a great deal of privacy between the two.

The guest house took on a life of its own and grew a bit, but still accomplishes their goal.

You can see the guest house here.



"Elliot Johnson owner of Images Of...has been wonderful to work with! My husband and I have changed our minds several times and he has been nothing but patient.

Very honest and gets everything back to us quick. Since this was our first time to build a house his guidance and knowledge has been exactly what we needed.

He has given us great advice about things that we would never have thought of on our own. A few of many examples was to keep certain trees that will be a perfect distance and placement after our house is built.

We had to get rid of several so he thought of ways to keep some of the nice ones. Our house will sit kind of sideways on the land so he walked the property two separate times making sure we get the best views of the lake as far as house placement and room views. He's very honest and quick to respond when we ask for things that are way pricier than what we would have thought so that not a lot of time is wasted.

In our opinion, he is the best!"
