Modern Homes Tour a success!
We met many new friends, ate “Oma’s Cheese Puffs,” and tired ourselves out. Thank you to everyone who came out to view our architectural work as a part of the Goodlife’s Modern Homes Tour.

birdhive up for auction Oct 17
We were invited to participate in the Hello, Birdie Birdhouse competition and gala at Big Red Sun. Bids on our house will start at $350 – proceeds will benefit Uplift Austin – a non-profit orginization committed to engaging students through their environment.
Cottam Hargrave designed and constructed a birdhive for purple martins with maximum adaptability. Six stacked units are secured by two custom four-foot bolts that connect the top unit to the bottom unit. After unfastening the bolts, the modular units can be re-arranged so that the openings face different orientations allowing for service accessibility. The birdhive is composed of reclaimed long leaf pine and scrap mild steel. We can build a pivoting mast to meet the specific requirements of the owner.
