"This man (Winn) put his very existence into this house-- I believe that.. and the first time I walked Into this home I told Greg it was like walking into a church or a spiritual place... and I cried. It was a happy cry -- it was just that beautiful and that correct."

"Dude, you're a f#@%'n genius!"
Milton Verret, client - Acquavilla
"This is a reflection of who we are. One of the exceptional things is that Winn made the outside part of the inside. If you look around, its unique, cool, architecturally significant design. I remember the first night we moved in here walking up the stairs and seeing the night stars and just thinking, 'I can't believe we live here.' That kind of view is incredibly restorative, heeling, and inspiring. Its an honor to live in a home that had so much creative thought behind it."
Michael Minnis, client - Boat House
"Winn has a very unusual connection with a lot of his clients. We would go and talk to a number of architects in town, and their main focus was really what they wanted to do. He really tries to design the spaces and the relationship between all of those spaces around the concepts of how we live our lives. He's done a very good job of taking this house and taking the lives that we live and incorporating that all into one piece, and at the same time, creating a very visual work of art."

"It was pretty easy to review websites of al the architects within 150 of Lampasas and select four candidates. After interviewing the candidates, it was so simple to narrow it down to two architects. It was amazingly difficult to make a final choice, but I would like you to design our "dream home". You have been very professional and warm, easy to talk to and quick to understand my concepts. You offered additional examples, references and suggestions. But especially, I believe you have the artistic enthusiasm to design a house that is also an "architectural sculpture", with the visual appeal and impact I am seeking. This project will be a challenge, but it should also be fun and exciting, because I want something far different from the standard designs for a house. I believe you will help us successfully design our special house and help us keep within budget."
David Eversdyk, client - Triple Creek Ranch
"I first had the pleasure of meeting Winn in the spring of 2000, and quickly knew I had met someone of great imagination, talent and vision. During the ensuing years, I had the joy of being involved in his projects through my business, Spazio. I noticed in particular that Winn develops a bond with his clients that often results in close friendships, where trust and respect are integral. His quiet, thoughtful manner makes all who work with him feel at ease, yet his will to push the envelope is part of the genius. His homes are not formulaic, nor derivative. Each stands securely on it's on distinct design. I have witnessed these creations stand the greatest test in architecture, the test of time. They remain as fresh as the date of completion, settling into the beauty of each individual location, as though somehow the earth wasn't disturbed while the home magically appeared."
