We build the part of the house where the evenings happen.

Pergolas, pavilions, and outdoor rooms for Austin backyards — built of cedar, wired for string lights, and measured in how late everyone stays.

The Evenings

Built for moments like these.

Scene 01 · Friday · 7:48 PM · October

Dinner's done and nobody moves. The heater hums, the lights come up amber, and your daughter falls asleep under the blanket before the dishes make it inside.

The cedar pavilion with infrared heat and dimmable string lights

Scene 02 · Saturday · 7:15 AM · June

Coffee outside before the heat arrives. The slats throw stripes of cool shadow across the table, and for half an hour the backyard belongs entirely to you and the birds.

The louvered pergola, slats set for morning shade

Scene 03 · Sunday · 9:30 PM · July

Movie night moved outside in May and never moved back. The projector hums against the cedar wall, someone's made popcorn, and the neighbors have started inventing reasons to drop by.

The Builds

Rooms without walls.

The Vine Room — Tarrytown

The Vine Room

Tarrytown

A 14-by-18 cedar pergola that the wisteria claimed by its second spring — exactly as drawn.

The Supper Pavilion — Barton Hills

The Supper Pavilion

Barton Hills

A solid-roof pavilion over a twelve-seat table, lit warm, rained on twice, never once cleared early.

The Morning Porch — Travis Heights

The Morning Porch

Travis Heights

A louvered room off the kitchen that turned a hot side yard into the most-used square footage of the house.

Built of

Things that get better at night.

  • Clear western red cedar, oiled, never painted
  • Blackened-steel brackets, concealed where we can, honest where we can't
  • Brass-socket string lights on dimmers — amber, always amber
  • Footings poured oversized, because evenings should outlast trends
  • Infrared heat for January, louvers for August

Cedar is FSC-sourced. Permits are our problem, not yours.

How it goes

From first sketch to first evening.

01

We walk your yard at dusk

Not at noon — at the hour you'll actually use it. We watch where the light goes and where the evening wants to sit.

02

One drawing, one price

A measured sketch of the room we'd build and a single number. No allowances, no creeping extras.

03

Built in weeks, broken in by Friday

Our own crew, a tidy site, and a finished room with the lights already warm. First evening's on you.

Begin

Tell us about your backyard.

And the evening you want back — the dinners, the mornings, the movie nights. We'll come walk it at dusk and draw you the room.
