From Concept to Completion: 2023 ARDA Award-Winning Design

This stunning modern contemporary home—winner of the 2023 ARDA Award—showcases the full range of Riverside Home Designs' capabilities, from initial conceptual rendering to completed construction. The first two images tell the story: a detailed 3D visualization that allowed the clients to see exactly what their dream home would look like, followed by the finished product that matches the vision perfectly. This is the power of working with an experienced custom home designer who can translate your ideas into reality.

The design features an open concept great room that seamlessly connects kitchen, dining, and living areas under soaring ceilings with elegant tray details and modern lighting. Large collapsible glass doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, opening the great room to covered patios and Hill Country views. The power-operated screens on the outdoor living areas provide protection from insects while maintaining the connection to nature—perfect for Texas evenings.

Thoughtful details elevate this home from ordinary to extraordinary: motion-activated toe kick lighting in the master bath provides subtle illumination at night, walnut cabinetry and doors add warmth to the contemporary aesthetic, and a stone fireplace serves as the great room's focal point. The outdoor amenities include a pool with screened patio offering panoramic Hill Country views and a private putting green—custom features designed for the clients' lifestyle.
