FEATURED PROJECTS
Modern Homes in San Marcos — Home Designs for the way you live.
At A.GRUPPO, we create site-specific homes that respond to climate, context, and the people who live in them. We don’t offer templates — every home is designed to work with the land, not against it.
Our work in San Marcos focuses on:
-
Sloped lots near the San Marcos and Blanco Rivers
-
Passive solar orientation, natural ventilation, and shaded overhangs
-
Durable material palettes that patina with time — wood, stone, steel
-
Low-water, low-maintenance native landscaping
We design with purpose — floor plans that follow your daily rhythm, details that improve thermal performance, and volumes that shape light and air flow.
Modern Architects - Sustainability As A Baseline
Building in San Marcos means designing for heat, drought, and watershed protections. Our homes begin with passive performance and finish with long-term resilience.
​
Our sustainable design features include:
​
• Rainwater collection, permeable surfaces, and minimal grading
• Deep rooflines, compact massing, and thermal mass integration
• Reclaimed and regionally sourced materials for low embodied energy
• Native and adaptive landscape strategies
• Envelope and HVAC strategies to reduce operational energy​
Architectural Design - Project Parameters​​
We take on residential work within San Marcos city limits and the surrounding Hill Country region. Projects typically include new custom homes on undeveloped land or replacement builds where an existing structure no longer serves the site or owner.
​
Our design process begins with:
-
A preliminary site visit and environmental review
-
Client interviews focused on daily patterns and spatial needs
-
Survey coordination and setback analysis
-
Topographic evaluation, water movement, and vegetation mapping
-
A zoning review specific to San Marcos overlays and corridor districts
​
Because we manage both design and construction oversight, we’re able to maintain continuity from schematic to site work — ensuring the final structure reflects the original intent, both functionally and materially.
