2026 Parade of Homes Tour Spotlight — Stop 5: RedOven Builds ✦ West Rim

For West Rim, it's all in the details. This home blends classic architectural detailing with rich and highly layered interiors, including brass accents, custom millwork in each room, natural stone, stained walnut, and luxury wallpaper that you'll be thinking about long after the tour is over.

RedOven Builds took on West Rim as a whole-home remodel, and what they delivered is a masterclass in layered, personal design. West Rim features a dedicated music room/study with a true music studio door, added insulation, and decoupled walls and ceiling, designed to perform technically while appearing visually seamless with the rest of this extraordinary home. The home also features a gourmet kitchen equipped with a 48" pro range, panel-ready Wolf and Thermador appliances, custom plaster vent hood, and a butler pantry and bar that together create a seamless space for entertaining.

West Rim represents the work RedOven Builds loves most: the complex, personal, and highly detailed. This bold creative vision turned into a finished home that feels warm, functional, and full of life.

Swipe through and see the craftsmanship up close. Then, come see it in person this weekend only, June 13 & 14.

2026 Parade of Homes Tour Spotlight — Stop # 1: Sterling Custom Homes ✦ Hilltop Haven

Perched high above Lakeway on one of the area’s most elevated homesites, Hilltop Haven was designed to capture sweeping Hill Country views while creating a refined, resort-inspired living experience. The home balances architectural drama with warmth and livability, using expansive glass, custom iron details, layered natural materials, and carefully curated finishes throughout.

Outdoors, the home opens to a private retreat with a pool, integrated spa, lounge beach, covered living and dining areas, an outdoor kitchen, and a fire feature.

This luxury home is elevated in every sense: elevated by its setting, its architecture, its views, and the experience it creates for daily living. With deep experience in the Central Texas luxury market, Sterling Custom Homes continues to build homes that balance architectural presence with warmth, livability, and lasting beauty.

2026 Parade of Homes Tour Spotlight — Stop #6: Next Custom Homes ✦ Camp Craft

Luxury is not just about beautiful finishes; it’s about creating a home that functions effortlessly, feels timeless, and fosters a real sense of belonging.

That’s the belief behind Camp Craft, the contemporary transitional home Next Custom Homes brings to Stop #6 of the 2026 Parade of Homes.

This residence was envisioned with a deep connection to both the landscape and the rhythms of everyday life. Every material selected brings the Central Texas landscape into the home — with layered finishes, natural stone, warm woods, and expansive glass, Camp Craft blurs the line between indoors and outdoors.

The open-concept living and kitchen spaces serve as the heart of the home, anchored by a dramatic, sculptural island inspired by the home’s distinctive roofline. Outfitted with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including a steam oven and double dishwasher, the kitchen is complemented by a Santorini quartzite backsplash, Black Saratoga quartzite countertops, and a fully equipped walk-in pantry. The residence offers 5 bedrooms, 7 full baths and 2 half baths, and five distinct living spaces, including a wellness suite complete with a sauna.

Driven by creativity, integrity, and a passion for beautiful spaces, Next Custom Homes approaches every project with the belief that a home should not only be visually striking, but also support the way people truly live for generations to come. Winner of Best in Show during the 2025 Parade of Homes, Next Custom Homes returns to showcase their latest home that blends refined modern architecture with warm, livable design.
