lakeside Sanctuary on lake travis

The Challenge: This full gut renovation on the shores of Lake Travis began with a crisis of confidence. The client was 18 months into the process and deeply unhappy with the direction from her original team, feeling the proposed plans lacked vision and contained significant layout errors. The challenge was not just to reselect finishes, but to fundamentally rescue the project, correct its course, and transform a stressful situation into the dream home she had envisioned.

The DOMICILIO Solution: We began with a meticulous review of the architectural plans, identifying and correcting crucial layout flaws to dramatically improve the home's flow and function. With a sound new plan in place, we conducted a complete overhaul of the material palette, selecting every finish to create a sophisticated, cohesive aesthetic worthy of the lakeside setting. A key focus was transforming the basement into a unique "lake level" entertainment hub, featuring a media room on one side and dedicated storage for the client's competition dirt bikes on the other. A glass garage door was installed, creating a seamless connection that welcomes friends and boaters straight off the water.

The Result: A home that is not only architecturally sound and visually stunning but is a perfect reflection of the clients' dynamic lifestyle. Upon completion, the immense stress of the project vanished, replaced by the client's joy in a home she finally felt was "perfect." It now serves as a sophisticated sanctuary for both quiet relaxation and lively, lakeside entertaining.
