The Work

Livable Art

Every project begins with a simple question: what does this home want to become?

Functional Modernism

Tavis Westbrook's design philosophy centers on preserving the "good bones" of older properties while integrating modern features that serve the way people actually live. Open-concept kitchens, natural light, custom courtyards, and thoughtful material selections are hallmarks of his approach.

The result is not a showpiece that photographs well but feels empty. It is a home that invites you to stay, to cook, to gather, to live. Functional modernism means every design decision serves both beauty and purpose.

Beyond Mid-Century

While best known for his Mid-Century Modern transformations, Tavis brings the same level of craftsmanship and design excellence to a wide range of architectural styles. Ranch homes, Craftsman bungalows, contemporary builds, and everything in between receive the same attention to detail.

The common thread is not a style but a standard: thoughtful design, quality materials, and a deep respect for the character of each property and the neighborhood it belongs to.

Featured Project

2300 Custer Parkway

2300 Custer Parkway - Richardson Midcentury Modern

This Dixon-Furlow midcentury modern home in Richardson, Texas underwent an 11-month renovation that preserved its original character while bringing it into the modern era. The project earned a Preservation Dallas Achievement Award in 2018.

Exposed wooden beam ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, native stone facades, and a redesigned pool area transformed this property from foreclosure to masterpiece.

Approach

The Investment Philosophy

Acquisition

Every project starts with careful analysis. Location, structural integrity, neighborhood trajectory, and renovation potential are evaluated before any commitment is made. The goal is to identify properties where thoughtful investment creates lasting value.

Renovation

Tavis manages every aspect of the renovation process, from design concept to material selection to contractor coordination. His hands-on approach ensures quality control at every stage, with budgets and timelines managed transparently.

Design

Design is not an afterthought. It is the foundation of every project. Each renovation is approached as an opportunity to create something that enhances the neighborhood and serves the next owner for decades to come.

Portfolio Strategy

Beyond individual flips, Tavis advises on long-term portfolio strategy, including buy-and-hold properties for rental income. His experience across market cycles provides perspective that goes beyond any single transaction.
