Modern Residential Architects In Central Texas
At A.GRUPPO, our residential work begins with context. In Central Texas and the Hill Country, every project is an opportunity to design in conversation with land, light, and the pace of everyday life. Our homes here reflect a commitment to modern architecture that is both exacting in its detail and deeply responsive to the people who live within them.
A.GRUPPO Architecture Firm Central Texas
We shape houses that feel native to Central Texas and the Hill Country, rising among limestone ridges, live oaks, and big skies. Our work spans new dwellings and renewed spaces that honor the land’s character while welcoming everyday life. Each project follows a simple ethic: use what belongs here, let light and shadow define rooms, and keep the design honest. These homes are made to endure, not just to be admired, offering calm presence in a rugged landscape.
Each house is approached as a collaboration—with the terrain, with materials, and with the client. Across the region, our projects show how modern design can elevate the ordinary, whether through subtle refinements of existing structures or the creation of new homes shaped by climate and setting.
The Oostwouder Residence is a residential complex consisting of three linked structures sited around an existing grove of live oaks that backs up to a bluff overlooking the picturesque Texas Hill Country and Blanco River. The main living and master suite are connected by a modern glass dining pavilion and main entry.
Ferrand Residence, a 1940s stone house in New Braunfels, was reimagined as a contemporary residence while preserving its historic core and clarifying its layout. A heritage live oak and hillside setting shaped the additions, with light, views, and material contrast tying old and new into a unified whole.
The Laman Residence transforms a 1970s modern home in San Marcos with a gallery, studio, library, and new master suite woven into the oak-filled site. Paired tower additions bring in filtered daylight and connect to gardens and outdoor rooms, creating a home that is both contemplative and dynamic.
