Sometimes you can pick your neighbors. That was the case for this young family of four, which approached the owners of a contemporary home being built next door to their best friends’ lake house in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. The timing was right, and the original owners agreed to sell. By a happy coincidence, Etch Design Group worked on the design with both sets of owners.
Etch began working with the original homeowners during the construction phase, helping select key finishes such as flooring, tile, countertops, cabinetry and lighting. The new homeowners purchased the house about two months before it was completed. After admiring Etch’s work online, they hired the team to help furnish the interior and layer in the final design elements — furniture, rugs, art and accessories — making some tweaks to tile and lighting along the way. The result is a warm contemporary home that’s family-friendly, with room for friends of all ages to have weekend fun at the lake.

Among the invisible special features in the office — as well as in most rooms throughout the house — is sound insulation in the walls and between the ceilings and floors. “When you’ve got your loud subwoofers playing your movies in the basement, [you] can knock down the sound by over 50%,” Thompson says. “It’s almost like not having anybody down there.”
