BUILDER INFO

Our History

Mission Design & Build was founded in 2019 by two friends, Mike Reid and Steven Jones, whose shared vision led to the creation of a company rooted in the design-build approach to custom home building. The design-build model sets us apart from other home builders and offers clients a more elegant and cost-effective way to build a custom home. Our process entails that the architect, interior designer, and home builder work together from the beginning of the project and address any changes as a team. This approach leads to collaborative problem solving and creative solutions to design problems. It also improves communication, avoids scheduling delays, and allows for construction budgets to be more tightly controlled.

HOME INFO

The vision for our 2021 Parade Home was inspired by the modern American family and the unique challenges they faced in 2020. We were motivated to create a space for clients who felt cut off from loved ones, and who struggled with inadequate work/learn-from-home situations. Our primary goal was to build a home that promoted a feeling of warmth and safety. We achieved this by using sawn-cut stone masonry in and outside of the home. We thoughtfully selected a neutral color palette, being careful to avoid stark whites, faux and heavy tones. Our second goal was to design a floor plan that was practical, flexible, and simplified everyday living. We avoided palatial “wing-like” layouts that separate important areas of the home. We focused on ergonomic room clustering and organized spaces based on traffic and use. Our third goal was to provide each individual with ample personal space, while promoting togetherness. Architectural features, like the 16’ see-through fireplace, replaces a traditional wall and provides a sense of connectedness, while offering a measure of privacy. Likewise, we went with a single-story plan that incorporated a billiard/media room as part of the daily living space, versus an annexed space that is rarely used.

Our version of this timeless classic started with a heavy focus on natural materials. A sawn-cut gray lueder stone exterior gives a sense of comforting weight that is balanced with a super smooth stucco finish. A standing seam metal roof and custom chimney shroud pay homage to the Hill Country aesthetic, while elevating the style from cottage to castle. A traditional craftsman roof extension over the front patio draws you in where you are welcomed with beechwood stained tongue-and-groove ceiling and custom wrought iron front door.

Inside, you are greeted by a 16-foot double-sided see-through fireplace and the first of four exposed wood beam ceiling treatments. Passing custom built-ins and piano area, the foyer gives way to the great room, kitchen, and dining room, which embrace an open, functional layout. Natural light illuminates these living areas with a half-dozen French doors and twice as many windows. Custom herringbone-laid brick flooring leads to the pantry, mudroom and laundry room, each with a variety of must-have features.
