We’re honored. Assembly Hall took home Best Event Space at @austin_home ‘s 2026 Home & Design Awards.
From the arched windows to the warm oak bar to the open courtyard — every detail was designed with intention. And it’s all yours to work with.
Thank you @thoughtbarn and @delineate_studio .
We’re proud of what we built together. 🏆

In the Field / Does making good buildings need to be boring? We don’t think so. A good team can make projects enjoyable while also executing those details that make it sing. A recent look at one of our projects finishing up and the team behind it. @wallerbuild@xtinasimon@shademakerstudio@fortstructures #thoughtbarn

Community First Village Phases 3 and 4 are underway. We are working with @mobileloaves on two new housing types for these expansions - Tiny Townhomes and Family Homes. We are happy to see these projects start construction
In a quiet pocket of East Austin, Holly House brings laid-back elegance to a tight lot—with gabled rooflines, warm walnut millwork, and a flow that feels both effortless and intentional. Designed by local firm @thoughtbarn , this home carves space where others cram, making room for big gatherings, tiny moments, and everything in between.
Inside, it’s all about natural light, cozy textures, and smart design: vaulted indoor/outdoor kitchen, handmade Zellige tiles, layered materials, and even a lap pool + ADU (because yes, you can have it all).

Work in Progress - Austin, TX / Our team has been working on a new residence in Barton Hills, on a steeply sloping lot perched over the Greenbelt. From the street to the east, the house nestles into the site as a one-story volume, with stone detailing paying homage to the vernacular of the neighborhood. To the west, the house will open up to dramatic views and reveal a second story carved into the slope. #thoughtbarn
From structure to details - the arches of the window openings at Assembly Hall are echoed in the millwork forms at the bar and picked up in the wood paneling treatments on the walls. Rich oak textures warm up accents of blackened steel plate and grey-green hues. The arched motifs and industrial character subtly reference the Quonset hut language of sister space Fair Market. / @assemblyhallatx@fairmarketatx w/ @delineate_studio / photo: @cinematics28
Assembly Hall, in East Austin, marks the latest expansion of the team behind our beloved barrel vaulted Fair Market. Originally a Mexican bakery and most recently a pet relocation center, the existing tilt up concrete building has a completely remodeled interior and new exterior loggia space that expands towards an exterior open courtyard.

The Holly House is a new residence on a corner lot in East Austin. The project includes a main house, ADU, workshop, and pool. The multiple programs are artfully orchestrated within the constraints of a narrow urban lot with significant slope and a large heritage tree. It was awarded a 5-star rating from Austin Energy's Green Building program, thanks to its energy efficient envelope, abundant daylight, high performance systems (solar / MEP) and thoughtful material selections. / #thoughtbarn photography: @andreacalo
