A new living fence was built to hide a rental unit's fence next to this home.  When filled in, the living fence provided additional privacy to the homeowner and tenants.  Landscape lighting was incorporated into the new fence to aid in security and to provide a peaceful ambiance at night.

Hardscaping a path to the rental unit enhanced by landscaping brought a warmth to the house that had previously been absent.  A new air conditioning screen was built to allow for regular service without being an eyesore for the tenant or the neighbors.

One of 2 bungalows in Houston classified as Asian, this home had seen better days. The homeowner wanted to update the home for his retirement years. We created a master plan for the multiple renovations and undertook renovating the home over several years to allow the homeowner to "breathe" between projects. Every surface of the home and rental space were renovated with an eye to keep the unique character of the home.
