Europe has long been the benchmark for timeless architecture, thoughtful design, and enduring craftsmanship.

James and Hilary recently traveled throughout Europe to study the details firsthand exploring the architecture, materials, proportions, and design elements that inspire so many of the homes our clients dream of building. Whether someone describes their vision as Tuscan, European, Colonial, or Old World, we believe the best designs begin with understanding the authentic source of that inspiration.

At James David Custom Homes and Hilary Brook Design, we are passionate about creating homes that are not only beautiful today, but timeless for generations to come. We work with clients who value quality, appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, and understand that remarkable homes are the result of thoughtful planning, expert ex*****on, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

The inspiration continues, and we can’t wait to bring these ideas home.

A complete outdoor transformation in the beautiful equestrian community of Nellie Gail Ranch. Designed and built by James David Custom Homes, this exterior remodel was thoughtfully crafted to create a seamless extension of the home blending luxury, functionality, and year-round enjoyment.

From the custom Ipe hardwood deck and staircase to the striking steel floating shed roof with WindsorONE T&G ceiling, every detail was carefully considered. Complete with a built-in firepit, outdoor BBQ, Infratech heaters, and custom planter walls, this outdoor retreat was designed for gathering, entertaining, and making memories for years to come.
