A Project Close to My Heart: From a Personal Vision to a Home for Many

Location: Houston, TX
Completion Date: October 2024
Scope of Work: Full-scale construction and project management

A Personal Beginning

This project started as something deeply personal for me. My original vision was to create a private, comfortable home for my father—somewhere he could be close to me while still having his own space, privacy, and the care he needed. I designed the apartment with him in mind, ensuring every detail would allow him to live comfortably and independently, with a personal nurse nearby.

But life had other plans. Before the project was completed, my father passed away. It was heartbreaking, and for a while, I wasn’t sure how to move forward.

Rather than letting the space sit empty, I decided to honor his memory by giving it a new purpose. I transformed what was meant to be his home into a place where others could find comfort—traveling professionals who need a welcoming space while they’re away from their own families.

Adapting the Vision

Turning this space into a modern, fully furnished apartment wasn’t just about construction; it was about preserving the warmth and care that inspired the project in the first place. I wanted to create a place that felt more like a home than a temporary stay.

  • Privacy & Comfort: Each room is designed to feel like a personal retreat, with high-end finishes and smart layouts that maximize space.

  • Community & Convenience: While residents have their own private bedrooms spaces, they also have access to a communal living room and kitchen—places where they can connect, unwind, or stay productive.

  • Seamless Living Experience: From energy-efficient appliances to high-speed Wi-Fi, every detail was chosen to make life easier for busy professionals on the go.

The Final Outcome

Though this project didn’t end up as I originally envisioned, I know my father would be proud of what it has become. It’s now a space that provides comfort, security, and a sense of belonging for people who need a home away from home.

💬 A Note from Robin:
"This project will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s more than just an apartment —it’s a space built with love, intention, and the desire to create something meaningful for others. If you’re looking for a comfortable, thoughtfully designed place to stay, I’d love to welcome you here."
