Tomball Custom Home

The project

A custom home on an acreage lot in Tomball, from cleared ground in November 2022 to finished rooms in January 2024.

Type
Custom home · acreage
Location
Tomball, Texas
Build
Nov 2022 – Jan 2024
Details
Steel beams · two-storey glass · open-riser stair

The lot was cleared in November 2022. Forms and rebar went in before Christmas, and the slab was poured on December 28.

Framing started in January around the steel beams that carry the open living spaces. By the end of March the house was sheathed and the rough-ins were in.

Cabinetry went in through June, tile in July, stucco in September and the wood floors in December. The lights came on for the first time on December 12, and the finished rooms were photographed on January 26, 2024.
