Versatile Specialty Design and Engineering Expertise

This gallery showcases the incredible variety of specialty projects designed by Riverside Home Designs over the years. From beautiful timber-framed porches featuring antique beams to functional waterfront structures, our design expertise extends far beyond traditional residential architecture. We've designed innovative waterfront equipment including rope ferries, docks, in-river swimming pools, rope swings, pedestrian bridges, and golf cart bridges. This diverse portfolio demonstrates our ability to tackle unique design challenges creatively and professionally.

The timber-framed porches shown here exemplify our expertise in creating outdoor living spaces that combine structural integrity with rustic beauty. Using traditional joinery techniques and carefully selected materials, these custom porches add significant value and livability to any home while providing shelter from the Texas sun, wind, and weather. Each timber-framed structure is designed with both aesthetics and longevity in mind, utilizing antique beams that bring character and authenticity to outdoor spaces.

Our design services also extend to hybrid structures like barndominiums—the increasingly popular combination of living quarters with workshop or barn space—as well as commercial buildings such as the KRVL Radio Station in Kerrville. We understand that specialty projects require the same meticulous attention to detail as residential homes, regardless of size or scope. From waterfront docks to radio station buildings, every project receives our full professional commitment and expertise.

With over 40 years of experience since 1984, Riverside Home Designs brings unmatched versatility and creative problem-solving to every project. As a Certified Professional Building Designer with NCBDC certification, we can design and engineer virtually any structure you might need. Our portfolio speaks to our commitment to excellence and our clients' trust in our ability to transform unique ideas into functional, beautiful realities.
