This has been out for a while. I’m just not sure on how to blog about it… Basically the nice people at Austin Monthly Home created a timeline for Austin Architecture since well, the beginning, pre 1840, to present-day, choosing MJ Neal as an example of the present; in what what they call “neomodern.” Alofsin, an [...]


MJ and I love the idea of urban farming. We also turned practically vegetarian last year, with an emphasis in macrobiotics. We both enjoy cooking and make it up as we go, exploring all kinds of new dishes. Right now, we are on a diet of greens, grains, fruits, legumes, miso soups, etc of Japanese [...]


We are proud to be in this fine book and I’m particularly happy that my pictures are getting published all over the place. I’m enjoying photography more and more, as I have been mentioning in this blog. I’m preparing an exhibition… I’ll post about it soon. Anyway, the focus of the book is sustainability. I [...]


The Wolfe Den stair progresses. The middle partition that ties into the rift cut white oak guardrail is in. And a preview of the Ipe treads. Kilean made it by with me today to check it out and generally reek havoc with everyone… more about “untitled“ Some nice progress! Here’s three weeks ago.

more about “untitled“, posted with vodpod A few images from the last site visit. Alex chats as John and Mike of Living Art Austin lean on the rift cut white oak guardrail just freshly installed. Dennis has the spoon tub installed and the shower running.


in 2003 we were asked to submit ideas for an Art Forum and Community Center in Annaka, Japan… Our design was centered about the Mulberry trees we were gonna plant, hundreds of them. See if you can spot the kids with balloons and the dog (in the sketches.) MJ and I have gone into macrobiotics [...]


(Yet another one) For all those people that think the project on south 5 st, in Bouldin, is ours, no it isn’t! This is the house we had designed and permitted for South 5 St and that was never built.This was actually the second design for this extremely difficult lot. We posted the first design [...]


more about “Twin Peaks Explained“, posted with vodpod There seems to be a few questions about Twin Peaks on Apartment Therapy. I guess we can answer them here… Yes, the central piece seems to float off the walls. It’s structure is attached to the wall by brackets. Since the houses are not big, it allows [...]

Fantastic article and she took a bunch of pictures, there’s a pretty comprehensive slideshow. Wow, it’s SO great to see a good picture of that table. MJ can design furniture like nobody’s business.

Amy Lemen wrote a wonderful article in this month’s issue of The Good Life Magazine. Download the article’s pdf HERE. And this reminds me of the .Inc article on the “other twin”, just to balance matters. That’s a pretty wonderful article too.            If you happen to read these two articles you’ll [...]


Went by the larkey job today, it was deserted because of the rain. With almost all the sliding doors in, you can really start telling what the space is going to feel like. My favorite has to be the new master bedroom, with the views to the courtyard and the clerestory window streching beyond where [...]
