It's home tour time! Just sending a quick plug out for the area AIA chapters - fall is the time of year most have home tours around the various Texas chapters that host them; it just so happens that both AIA Dallas and AIA Austin scheduled their tours on the same weekend (see below). I'm [...]
Seasons Greetings from Eckxstudio! This is our modern holiday card design for 2016.

I was recently commissioned to design and build a unique, modern coffee table for a husband & wife client. They searched the internet and local furniture showrooms without finding something that speaks to their tastes and space, and we randomly struck up a conversation about how it can be difficult to find the ideal piece.
