Jake’s favorite space in the home is the dining room. Set apart from the kitchen and living areas, it features a sunken design, a dramatic chandelier, and floating underlit shelves that give it a warm glow in the evening. “We used a lime wash on the walls, and it really brings the space to life,” Jake explains. The plaster and stucco finishes add texture and depth, creating a room that feels both inviting and distinctive.
The project also gave the Highline team a chance to try something new. “We used a raked stucco technique for the first time,” Jake shares. “It was a bit of a challenge but turned out really well.” This attention to detail carries through to the rest of the home, where materials like walnut cabinetry and Ipe wood decking were chosen not just for their beauty, but for their durability and connection to the local environment. Landscaping with native Texas plants complete the look, tying the home to its surroundings in a subtle but meaningful way.
For Jake and his team, working with RAM Windows & Doors was essential to achieving their design goals. “They’re excellent,” he says simply. The Houston-made custom windows and doors played a big role in giving the home its clean, modern look while also improving energy efficiency. Looking back, Jake describes the project as one of his favorites. “It was a fun collaboration with Davey and his team. The end result really exceeded our expectations.”
