Art Alliance Austin’s Cityswatch App

Austin is full of color. Art Alliance Austin wanted to invite Austinites to get involved with art by finding the art all around them in the city and tell Austin’s color story. In order to do this, we created a mobile app called Cityswatch, allowing users to snap photos around town, create a color swatch and upload it onto an online gallery. Check out the demo below and download the app today.

Austin Custom Builder David Dalgleish Launches Hill Country Hideaway

Master builder David Dalgleish has created Frio Cañon, an exclusive second-home community on the Frio River. The 180-acre waterfront community is a place for family and friends to escape the frenetic pace of city life and connect with one another in the scenic Texas Hill Country.

Individual homes are complemented by a surrounding wilderness preserve and the scenic Texas Hill Country. On-site amenities include an extensive trail system, a river park and the Red House, the original homestead that has been converted into an entertainment area. Activities for families include swimming, tubing, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, skeet shooting, bird watching, cookouts, outdoor movie nights, and evenings spent around the community campfire.

Frio Cañon was founded in 2008, when David Dalgleish purchased the land in an effort to protect the land from overdevelopment. Over the past three years, Dalgleish developed a master plan for the property, built infrastructure and began working with architects to create designs for the type of riverfront homes he imagined in the community.

For more information about Frio Cañon and the homes and sites for sale, visit the website http://www.friocanon.net/.

News of the Frio Cañon announcement landed in Robb Report’s monthly newsletter.

Exclusive Hill Country Property Offers Mountainside Casitas

Late last year, master builder David Dalgleish announced the details of Frio Cañon casitas, 30 luxury mountainside vacation homes in the exclusive Frio Cañon community on the Frio River. The unique Texas Hill Country cottages will be situated throughout the second home community’s wilderness preserve and enjoy the full amenities of Frio Cañon.

The designs of the Frio Canon Casitas were created to complement one another and the surrounding landscape. Designed to accommodate large families and friends, arrangements of up to three structure on each home site offer a variety of configurations for entertaining and relaxing.

Big Wigs 2011

Ads don’t make themselves. It takes more than an agency to bring ideas to life.  The Big Wigs Awards were created by the Austin Ad Federation to thank all of the people that help bring great creative to life, from printers and radio reps to secretaries and interns. So we created sets of industry-friendly Thank You cards, supported by branded digital collateral, to promote the 2011 event. Display them. Pass them around. Give your team the props they deserve. And then go make a night of it, Big Wigs style.

Denizen Identity

Polished and eclectic—in a quirky 04 kind of way. That’s The Denizen, a new residential project that we’ve been tapped to brand.

The Denizen is another visionary project in the 78704 from Terry Mitchell. One with an authenticity that very few new developments can claim. Cousins to The Austonian, The Denizen serves central-Austinites with a high-end and welcoming place to call home, at below-market price-tag.

We took inspiration from the surrounding area and created a brand that encompasses the sophisticated vibe of the project, the texture of the city, and a blend of vintage and modern, and a healthy dose of wit.
