Moontower

Moontower creates custom complete home transformations for busy Austinites who value design.

What if your 1964 ranch-style home already had everything it needed?

The mature trees. The established neighborhood. The memories. The character.

But what if it didn’t support the life you want to live today?

More light, opportunity for gathering, space for growing kids (and play dates). A welcoming suite for parents and guests. Room to care for the people who matter most.

For this renovation, we opened the floor plan and used strategic skylights to bring in natural light and although the original home played it straight with 8’ ceilings throughout and mostly white walls and carpeted rooms we added warm wood ceilings and Southwestern influences, introduced bold colors and personality, and created spaces that support the way this family lives today by adding an all seasons screened porch for gathering to a private suite for guests.

At Moontower, we believe great renovations honor what’s worth keeping while making room for what comes next.

What part of your home would you never want to lose?

Now on its second owner and with an updated interior by (not pictured here) the original home and modern addition will be 1 of 10 unique and storied spaces rarely available for public access.

We couldn’t be more proud to see our Corona project featured in the Spring “Business of Design” issue of !

Pick up a copy on newsstands, or better yet, subscribe and experience how thoughtfully each issue comes together all year long. is doing something special, building a platform that connects and celebrates Austin’s design community. Case in point: the 2026 Awards night was a joy! We were honored to be nominated and loved celebrating alongside so many talented peers.

Work like Corona is always a massive team effort. Grateful for the Moontower crew with Liz Whitlock and Jessica Smith handling the architecture and interiors, while Kyle Jones and Mike Schoenfeld helmed the build, coordinating a group of outstanding trades and craftspeople to bring our ideas to life.

Good buildings happen with stewardship! Thank you to our homeowners who act as true patrons of Austin’s creative culture. You are the reason we have more meaningful, thoughtful buildings in your neighborhood.

Finally, thank you to the folks who helped us share Corona so beautifully: photography by , writing by , and PR by ❤️

🤓🥳 Collective Success!

Thank you for hosting our first Curious Builder Collective in Austin!

With a focus on marketing and sales the conversations were really interesting and energizing. It was refreshing to have candid time together and meet new builders and connect deeper with old friends. sandwiches kept us fed locally and we’re looking forward to our next meet up in June.

You’re invited!

Join us on the 2026 Austin Modern Home Tour on February 28 from 10 AM to 6 PM.

This home was an elegant response to updated floodplain maps, and a neighborhood rich with mid-century modern character.

Every decision focused on solving real constraints with design and craftsmanship, from the elevated structure to the compact footprint and simplified material palette.

Since move-in, the homeowners have layered in a Palm Springs–inspired landscape, complete with a pool you’ll have to see for yourself.

We’re excited to open the doors and share how thoughtful architecture can turn limitations into durable homes that feel right for both people and place.

Taking a moment to celebrate all the old house fans out there. 🖤

Without you, a firm like ours couldn’t do what we do best: keep the good stuff.

We were honored to feature this 4-plex on the Preservation Austin Homes Tour in 2025, and even more proud for it to receive the Austin NARI Remodeler of the Year Award for Whole Home Historic Renovation.

Here’s to the patrons who choose preservation. The ones who find thoughtful ways to work with existing buildings. The ones who understand that these structures hold history (known and unknown) and deserve to be experienced again and again by future generations.

We’re grateful to play a small part in keeping those stories alive.
