TCU Area Second-Story Addition

The Project

A TCU / Westcliff transformation

Some homes shout “new.” This one whispers “meant to be here.”

Tucked just a few blocks from TCU, you can see the campus from the front yard.

But you’d never guess this home hadn’t always stood exactly like this.

When a family from Georgia reached out, they had a clear dream:

Create a home where their daughter could live with her sorority sisters—

a space that felt safe, smart, and soulful…

but also an investment that made sense long-term.

Originally, the house was a modest one-story—three bedrooms, two baths.

Plenty of charm. Not nearly enough space.

So we got to work.

We added a full second story.

Expanded it to five bedrooms, three and a half baths.

Made room for memories, late-night study sessions, and all the in-between moments college life brings.

But the goal wasn’t just more.

It was better.

We didn’t want this house to stick out like a flashy modern build.

We wanted it to feel like it belonged.

Like it had always been here—rooted in the rhythm of the neighborhood.

So we chose materials with intention.

We preserved the bones where we could.

And every design decision was made with one question in mind:

“How do we honor what’s here while building something new?”

That’s the tension we love to hold.

Not just creating homes that impress—

but homes that make sense.

Homes that serve real people and real stories.

For the Woody family, this isn’t just a house near TCU.

It’s a gift to their daughter.

A space for community.

A future-forward investment with an old-soul feel.

And for us?

It’s another reminder that good design isn’t always about standing out.

Sometimes it’s about knowing when to blend in—with beauty, on purpose.
