under construction: 2 Southern Living showcase homes in Austin


Two Austin custom home builders are building a Southern Living magazine showcase home on Lake Travis that ultimately will be sold for $1.5 million.

Currently under construction in Lago Vista at Waterford on Lake Travis, the 4,400-square-foot house will be finished around the holidays and will be shown to the public as a fundraiser for several weeks in February 2013.

The Austin showcase home features wood beams, limestone rock and panoramic windows that create a strong sense of the outdoors, Grimm said.

Henley hopes the Southern Living showcase home draws about 15,000 people when it’s open Feb. 8-24, 2013. Though ticket prices have to be set, the proceeds from the home tour will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Austin and Operation Finally Home.

Country Living: Little House on the Lake


Our clients’ terrific 500 square foot cottage is featured in September 2012 issue of Country Living magazine!

Bonin Architects cottage featured in Country Living September 2012

Sheri and Gerry Weber describe how their remodeled cottage went from old and outdated to clean and contemporary with a plan that included opening up the space, recycling as much material as possible, and making the most of limited storage.

Architect Jeremy Bonin presented a green design that tore down the dropped ceiling and eliminated all of the wood paneling. The Webers reaction was perfect: “Without the ceiling, it was like, “Wow!”, explains Sheri.  “We capitalized on all the extra height by putting in a sleeping loft.”  Working closely throughout the project, Bonin Architects and the Webers succeeded in making this cottage one of the nicest – and greenest – cabins on the lake!
