2021 NARI CotY National Award for Residential Detached Structure.

This Dallas home in the upscale neighborhood of Bluffview Estates has been handed down through generations and is still being enjoyed by the original family that purchased it in 1938. The main home was added on to years ago, so it was now time to freshen up the exterior with some bright white paint and tear down the original guest house that was in terrible shape and rebuild something fabulous and functional! They had major drainage issues, which they could not do much about because they were at the bottom of a hill, so every time it rained their backyard would flood into the pool. They had to something to fix it! A large retaining wall was put in at the back of their property and then the new guest house and garage were built and then finished off with an amazing outdoor living area.

The guest house comes complete with a pool bath and an exquisite summer kitchen, which includes an Evo, a grill, and a pizza oven, as well as an ice maker and refrigerator to keep things cold. The modern stairs lead up to the crow’s nest, where guests can relax and get a good night's sleep after playing in the pool all day.

This garage is the ultimate man cave with space for the owner’s four Harleys and his 2-car garage with a lift, making it a 3-car garage! The backyard was covered in turf, so no more mud coming in on the dog's paws when it rains. Our clients (and their guests) absolutely love their new outdoor living spaces, as it has definitely changed their daily living!

These clients had very different tastes when it came to building a dream home. One spouse had a style that was romantic and traditional; the other's was more eclectic and casual. In the end, Alair was able to give both what they wanted - a home as unique as they were.

These clients moved from the East coast and wanted modern with a Texas flair that paid homage to their newly adopted state. Alair was able to create just the right mix where warm woods and native stone merge seamlessly with clean lines and contemporary touches.

This owner loved natural, rustic materials but wanted a modern home with contemporary lines. Alair combined large windows and thoughtful selections - beautiful hardwoods, neutral stones, inspired colorful accents - to create a space even Mother Nature would envy.

Dress it up. Dress it down. Add a few touches to make it rock. Or just keep it simple and classic. Wherever you see your life going, Alair can build you a home that will take you there, year after year.

This home made a statement from the moment the forms went in. Grand in scale and discerning in finishes, Alair mastered the art of understated elegance in building for this client.
