Retaining wall, but make it snap. 🫰

At Old Enfield, a snap-tie concrete wall stitches together the upper and lower lawn with crisp lines, quiet depth, and just enough attitude.

Positioned between the kitchen and lounge, the dining room frames quiet views of the landscaped rear yard. Generous-sized glazing draws in natural light, while sheer drapery tempers the sun into a soft, diffused glow.

The interior space of Old Enfield carries a high level of formality touched with soft drama - a sophisticated blend of classic style and understated elegance.

The anchor of the project is the new Guest Suite - a floating cabin in the trees that backdrops the pool and connects the existing upper terrace to the newly developed lower pool terrace.

The retreat hovers lightly within the landscape, turning the journey between levels into an experience of its own.

A study in contrast and continuity - our Enfield residence bridges heritage architecture with contemporary intervention. The original front façade remains a steward of neighborhood character, while beyond it, the site unfolds into a reimagined landscape: a refined guest suite and a backyard oasis conceived as an extension of the home’s spatial narrative. Historic bones, modern rhythm.

We’re on the move! 🎉

After 15 years at The Reserve, we’re closing out one chapter and stepping into the next.

Our new office space just down the road is still coming together, so we’ll be working remotely for the next month while the finishing touches are completed. (Huge shoutout to for assisting with the build!)

Everything else stays the same - phones and email are fully up and running.

New space, same team. We can’t wait to welcome you soon! ✨

Jim LaRue hit the jackpot with his wife Kristi by his side, both in and out of the office. She’s a pro at client relations and has a knack for making everyone around her stronger.

Bonus: with a geology degree, she literally has a rock-solid foundation to tackle anything… and she’s a former Kilgore Rangerette!

Happy 37th Anniversary to our founding principal, James LaRue!

Guided by his gifted design vision, Jim has shaped countless recognized residences over the years - homes that engage perfectly within their landscape and thoughtfully respond to how people truly live.

Grateful to our team, clients, builders, and consultants who bring these visions to life, we look forward to continued growth and excellence in 2026 and beyond.
