This is the breakfast area of the kitchen. It features a drum shade pendant fixture with a custom fabric on it. The custom made drapery treatments feature a custom pole with fabric by Romo and wooden trim by Samuel and Sons. The wooden expanding table is by Henredon. It has a hand planed top. There are two different styles of chairs. One style which is more traditional has a worn painted finish. The host and hostess char are like mini wing chairs meant for leisurely meals. The design is an interesting combination of colors and styles. Designer: Jo Ann Alston Photgrapher: Peter Rymwid

This 350 square-foot vacation home annex accommodates a kitchen, sleeping/living room and full bath. The simple geometry of the structure allows for minimal detailing and excellent economy of construction costs. The interior is clad with reclaimed pine and the kitchen is finished with polished stainless steel for ease of maintenance.

Set along a winding stretch of the Guadalupe River, this small guesthouse was designed to take advantage of local building materials and methods of construction. With concrete floors throughout the interior and deep roof lines along the south facade, the building maintains a cool temperature during the hot summer months. The home is capped with a galvanized aluminum roof and clad with limestone from a local quarry.
