Takumi Design + Build is a full-service residential design and construction company based in Austin, TX. We create homes that reflect how people actually live—spaces that feel good to be in, work hard for their owners, and last a long time.
Takumi Design + Build is led by Robin Horal, a longtime builder with roots in Austin and a commitment to creating intentional, well-built homes. The Takumi team brings a grounded, collaborative approach to each project—from design vision to job site execution. We partner closely with homeowners, designers, and trades to make sure each project runs smoothly and reflects the people living in it.
Robin works alongside a trusted network of collaborators, including Smith Holt, a respected architect with deep ties to the Austin design community. Together, they ensure each project is built with a strong design foundation and executed with precision. Their combined experience and dedication to quality craftsmanship allow Takumi Design + Build to offer clients not only design and construction but also lasting, meaningful relationships.
Takumi Design + Build is proud to be a participating member of the Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) program. AEGB sets the standard for sustainable residential construction in Central Texas, promoting healthier homes, energy efficiency, and smarter design. We incorporate AEGB practices into our builds, from material selection to energy systems, because we believe sustainable homes are better homes. It’s one more way we build with the future in mind.
We don’t separate good design from solid construction. For us, those things go hand in hand. Our integrated team works closely with homeowners to solve problems creatively, build with care, and deliver results that feel just right—not overdone, not underbuilt.
