This home also features an array of locally made custom aluminum windows , crafted by RAM Windows & Doors , a window manufacturer in Texas.

When asked what she likes most about working as an architect in Texas, m+a architect Anne Eamon replied, “We get to design spaces that are indoor/outdoor spaces that you can use all year round. It can be challenging, but if you do it right it can really inform the way you approach design.”
