Lodge-style construction, featuring a metal roof, Douglas Fir trusses, cypress siding, and a stone base, seamlessly integrates with the natural beauty of its surroundings creating a harmonious blend that enhances both the aesthetic appeal and the structural integrity of the building.

The existing 1940s house sat in the 100-year floodplain and was demolished to make room for a series of separate one-story structures, including casitas for visiting family and friends, an office space and a master suite connected to the main house via a glass bridge. The contemporary stone buildings features metal canopies and surround entertaining spaces, including an outdoor kitchen and a negative edge pool overlooking the gorgeous lake view.

Inspired by Old World vineyard estates, the new stone house will connect to the existing one via a dog-trot style entertaining area with an outdoor kitchen. Featuring a spacious great room with wooden trusses and a large veranda for outdoor living, the main floor provides ample space for both living and entertaining. Below, a wine cellar and tasting room complement the home, while upstairs, two guest bedrooms await the couple's grown children.

This house features Oklahoma flagstone for both exterior and interior walls, large planks of Café Noir marble in the great room and kitchen, and chiseled travertine tile floors in the indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces. Walnut millwork and plank flooring along with high-end finishes like copper sinks and hardware add warmth throughout the expansive space

With a gorgeous sunset and over 10,000 sq. ft. of wooden decking and fabulous dining opportunities, Snoopys and Marker 37 at Sunset Island is a premier Texas Coast Destination for boating and fishing, or just a relaxing spot for athletes and fans to unwind and have a great meal. The area is best known for its boating and fishing capacities, and boaters have access to grass-free boat launches, dockside fueling, and boat slips for rent, while anglers can get outfitted with bait and tackle and other boating supplies. The marina also hosts a variety of chartered fishing guides.

The client envisioned a house that would appear as if it had stood on the Westlake site for hundreds of years. An existing house on the site prone to flooding was demolished and the new house was woven between existing mature trees. The living room provides the heart of the house, acting as the original structure, around which the kitchen, bedrooms, baths and other spaces were added. Katheryn, working closely with the contractor, varied stone both inside and outside to simulate generations of additions and renovations. Mrs.McElroy and Katheryn acquired antique doors and fixtures from around Texas including the entire butler’s pantry, which was salvaged from a 1915 Fort Worth home that was demolished. The property includes a carriage house and a chicken coop.

The stonework and design of this fraternity lodge pay respect to the fraternity’s roots in Italy while also being at home in its modern Texas context. Katheryn worked with the fraternity to develop spaces that express the fraternity’s identity and the University of Texas, while accommodating diverse functions and activities.

The law firm in Austin, Texas relocated to a smaller space outside downtown, featuring quartz countertops, a striking accent wall in the reception area, and glossy wooden floors. Partially frosted glass doors in exterior wall offices allow natural light while ensuring privacy. Existing furniture was measured and reconfigured, complemented by a few new pieces to update the office's overall look. A communal workroom with a standing-height worktop was designed for accessibility and functionality.

This beautiful 1951 manor is home to the Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order at the University of Texas at Austin. The southern plantation style manor has been updated only a few times over the past 7 decades and was in need of serious updates. The Austin KA chapter hired Katheryn Lott Architects to first redo the upstairs living quarters – focusing mainly on a total new look for the bath and shower areas. Next KL architects were asked to update the public areas on the ground floor. New tile for the restrooms, lighting and painting throughout the main floor. The last and most involved phase of construction included a totally new commercial kitchen. The kitchen remodel required total gutting of the existing defunct conditions. Before and after photos are shown.

This retirement home for a couple with strong ties to Colorado uses stone both inside and out to make connections between the interiors and the natural site beyond. The extensive use of warm wood adds to the feeling of refined rugged comfort that grounds the house but maintains a sense of light and air. Katheryn also completed all interior design and furnishing selections. This house was featured on the cover of The Ultimate Outdoor Kitchen.

Designed for a couple with grown children, this residence prioritizes both ease of living and efficient use of space on its compact wooded lot. Drawing inspiration from old-world building traditions, the use of materials and architectural volumes enhances its timeless appeal. Expansive windows seamlessly connect interior spaces with the surrounding mature natural landscape, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor experience.

This three-story office building has parking on the ground floor and two stories of open office space, available for occupancy by the client and for lease. Adjacent to an older, similar building, owned by the client, and occupying a very large lot adjacent to a green belt, the new building brings a more contemporary approach to this ubiquitous building type. The ground floor parking is enclosed with laser cut stainless steel panels that reflect the natural forest that surrounds the building. The interior finishes and fixtures were selected with the same consciousness of the natural environment.
