Austin families value spaces that evolve with life, hosting gatherings, entertaining outdoors, and connecting daily living with the surrounding landscape. PLATT designs homes built for longevity and legacy.

Experienced with Local Communities & Site Considerations

From lakeside properties along Lake Austin to estates in Westlake or the Hill Country, we understand view ordinances, tree protection rules, material performance in heat, and zoning patterns unique to Austin.

Material Integrity for the Texas Climate

We select natural stone, high-performance glazing, metal roofing, deep overhangs, and cooling-focused building envelopes to ensure durability and comfort through Austin’s year-round temperature swings.

Our Method

With our refined method of attentive listening, we immerse ourselves in understanding not only our clients’ visions but also how our designs effortlessly synchronize with their lifestyle. This thorough process guarantees the development of something truly unique, destined to be treasured for generations to come.

Our Mission

Our aim is to infuse our designs with humility, simplicity, and attentive service, constructing with integrity and furnishing with meticulous care. We endeavor to minimize our own presence, ensuring that what remains is not a mere metaphor or performance, but rather the essence of the structure itself.
