A local portfolio.
A personal approach.
From our Horseshoe Bay office, Lucas Anthony brings architecture, interiors, and construction into one coordinated design-build process. Our local homes offer a place to begin: see how different materials, room arrangements, and outdoor spaces come together in a finished residence.
Blue Hour explores long rooflines and broad glass openings. The Hideaway brings gathering spaces into a setting of mature oaks. Your own home begins with the land and the way you want to live, whether you already own a lot, are considering a purchase, or have plans to discuss.

Start with the lot address, a survey if available, and the rooms you want. Consider where the house, driveway, terrace, and any pool will sit together before settling on a floor plan.
The right review path
Identify the city and community requirements for your exact property. Architectural review, building permits, utility connections, and site work each deserve a place in the early plan.
A complete project scope
Discuss architecture, interiors, construction, and outdoor work together. Record what belongs in the proposed budget and what needs a separate estimate or decision.

Planning your home
A few good
questions.
Where can I see your work in Horseshoe Bay?
Explore Blue Hour, The Hideaway, Golden Hour, and Ember House on this page. Each project has its own gallery of the home, interiors, and outdoor spaces. The portfolio also includes homes in progress and The Lookout, a completed home available for a private tour while it is for sale.
Explore our custom homesWhen should I involve a builder?
Start the conversation while your ideas are still taking shape. Bringing a builder into the planning stage gives you an opportunity to discuss your priorities, the property, the scope of the home, and your budget before committing to a design. You do not need a finished set of plans to get in touch.
Can we begin before I purchase a lot?
Yes. Tell us about the Horseshoe Bay properties you are considering and how you want to live. A useful early conversation considers the setting, slope, access, views, and outdoor spaces, along with the community requirements that will need to be confirmed for the specific property.
Explore building on your lotWhat should I include in my custom home budget?
Look beyond the house itself. Land, design and engineering, site preparation, utilities, required reviews, outdoor spaces, furnishings, and a contingency may all affect the total. Which items belong in your construction scope should be clear before you compare proposals.
Read the cost planning guideHow does the design-build process work?
We begin with your vision, then bring architecture, interior design, and construction into one coordinated process. Together, we work through the design, material selections, and project scope before moving into the build and finishing details. Visit our process page for a closer look at each stage.
Explore the design-build processDo I need finished plans to start?
No. Your property information, a short list of priorities, and a few images can start the conversation. If you already have plans, bring them along so we can discuss how they relate to the site, your goals, and the intended scope.
How do I find the requirements for my Horseshoe Bay lot?
Begin with the property address, survey, and subdivision documents. The city's Development Services department is the starting point for municipal building and land development questions; your community's architectural committee is a separate contact. The resources above connect you to city permits, Horseshoe Bay ACC materials, and utilities. Confirm the applicable review process for the particular lot before designing around assumed setbacks or starting site work.
Use the homesite planning guideWhat should I compare when choosing a builder?
Ask to see relevant completed work and understand who will coordinate design, selections, construction, and communication. Compare what is included in each proposal, how changes are documented, and which decisions you will need to make along the way.
