TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE
Tony Martin has always been a creator.
It wasn’t a choice — it was a current running through him. In his early years, that instinct took form in woodworking, weaving, and anything his hands could shape.
Whatever the medium, the result was the same: work crafted with care, rooted in tradition, and unmistakably his own.
He gave the past new form—lasting, grounded, and alive.
Tony’s early serapes and horse blankets, each a study in tradition and feel, eventually earned a place in the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. It marked the beginning of a lifelong pursuit: shaping materials, honoring craft, and building things meant to last.
In true artist fashion, his hands soon turned to wood. Running a small workshop at the time, Tony took an unexpected turn—building wooden children’s toys.
“We’ve got wood, we’ve got tools… let’s make something wonderful,” he said.
The search for true materials soon led Tony into architecture—and then into homebuilding. A small cabinet shop evolved into a design/build studio in Fredericksburg, Texas, a town rich in 19th-century German architecture.
Drawn to heritage building, Tony built a network from the ground up: old barns, abandoned grain silos, forgotten mills, long-quiet quarries.
Every reclaimed beam, every hand-cut stone carried the weight of time—and the promise of new life.
Today, that network stretches across the country, still fueled by the same instinct: build with integrity, build with story.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Authenticity is not an aesthetic. It’s the foundation.
The work spoke first. In a world chasing the next big thing, Tony chose the long way—hands in the work, heart in the details. Homes that breathe. Homes that belong.
Clients found us not through marketing, but through meaning. Each home led quietly to the next—a body of work shaped by time, not trends.
From the oak-lined hills of Texas to the high slopes of the Rockies, our homes live across the land—rooted in craft, built to last.
Legacy family estates for generations to come.
Heritage Carries On
After college, Ira returned—not just to the business, but to the rhythm of craft passed down through quiet hours and countless builds. He and Tony have worked side by side ever since—designing, shaping, refining.
Ira brings a quiet instinct for uncovering rare materials—stone, timber, elements long forgotten. Rooted in tradition, he solves each design challenge with a steady hand, expanding the work thoughtfully while staying true to its origins.
Authenticity is never assumed; it is earned—through respect for the material, the craft, and the story of each home.
Legacy lives in every architect, every craftsman, every hand that shapes the work. And the work carries on.
