Since 1983, TWC Architects has periodically served clients as architect and construction manager for residential projects, varying from new design to renovation to historic restoration. Many of these projects have been commissioned in very historic contexts or are historic landmark sites. This page highlights a few of these projects.


1) Trull Home: This home was designed and developed as a speculative investment property forScott Trull in 1985. Following the experience of designing, constructing and understanding the historic Hyde Park neighborhood, the Trull family elected to make this investment property their family home, in which they contentedly reside today.


2) Williams Residence: The original open site was a difficult triangular configuration with a dramatic 37 ft vertical rise from the street. The architect and his family wished to create a traditional form while also capturing views of the Austin Arboretum. The result is a comfortable, light-filled home that speaks of a traditional family setting from the approach to gathering in the great room.


3) Dempsey House and Estate: Kim Williams discovered this unique historic home in 1983 in a very deteriorated state. After evaluating the property for possible investment purposes, the family grew to truly appreciate its historic value and wonderful assets. Subsequently, the Williams family purchased the Dempsey House as their second inner city home. They secured Austin Historic Landmark status for the home and developed it as their home, architectural office and rental unit. The structure was first constructed in 1914 and later expanded by the very accomplished mason and Austin City Councilman Jack Dempsey for which the historic status was awarded.


4) Wooten Mansion and New Residential Center: In 1981 Kim Williams served as project architect for this prominent Austin historic landmark. Kim also served as co-architect for the design of the major new residential center at the rear of the urban site. The building was one of the first high-end substance abuse treatment centers in Texas, and today the site is a prestigious urban hotel.


5) Gilfillan House: This downtown historic property was developed by Kim Williams in 1981 for renowned Texas artist Anne Cofrin to be her business gallery, studio and special event facility. After a comprehensive restoration and adaptive-use, the National Register of Historic Places listed property served as a major social and cultural event center throughout the 1980’s and early 90’s. Today the structure houses a law firm.
