An architecture studio in Austin and Fredericksburg, designing homes across Texas and the Hill Country. Small enough that a partner is on your project start to finish.

The first conversation costs nothing. Bring a lot, a floor plan, or a sketch on a napkin, and we will tell you what it would take to build.

Residential design

Start with how you live, not with a style

The studio puts it this way: a home is not about the designer, it is about how the family actually lives in it. That is where a project starts here, and it is why two homes designed in this office can end up looking nothing alike.

How we work

The same partner, whatever the job is

A home remodel to a large custom designed home both get the same attention, process and partner.

Who you will be working with

Chad Faucheux and Curtis Raymond founded Design Visions of Austin in April 2007.

You work directly with the partner designing your home. From the first conversation through construction, Design Visions of Austin is there for you for all your needs throughout the process.

Where we work

Based in the Hill Country, working well past it

Two offices, in Austin and Fredericksburg, and most of the work is close to them. The rest is not. The studio designs across Texas, from the Hill Country to the Permian Basin, and a set of drawings can go to a property in any state.

What people say

From the people who have built with the studio

  • We love it more than you can imagine. We thank you so much.

    Jo and Rick Westonhomeowners

  • My wife and I worked with Curtis and his team to design our house, and the design was better than anything we could have imagined. Curtis actually listens to what his clients want, and that is reflected in the design. Going back and forth between revisions was really easy. Highly recommend them.

  • We have been working with Design Visions of Austin for several years and they always provide excellent plans that build well and have the latest trends that most people are looking for. Great value and attention to detail.
