Jeff Seal

This past week my class went to two homes that were designed and custom built by a local Lubbock designer named Jeff Seal. The houses that he has designed are one of a kind and extravagant to the city of Lubbock, TX. The class and I were able to see a home that was not finished in order to understand the whole process that goes in to designing and building a new home.

The homes that Jeff Seal designs are unique and are designed with inspirations from either customer’s ideas or from places around the globe. The homes are very detailed and it is made sure that no detail is left out. The process includes the architectural details, the actual design, the material selection, construction, and the landscape design and installation.

Because every house is unique, the materials and design vary so that it is known that Jeff Seal only does custom work. This creativity was obvious when touring the homes and helped me to understand their goal of trying to provide a successful design off of any and all inspirations. The homes that we toured were not alike and it was so interesting to see how Jeff and his team were able to come up with two completely different homes and make them blend in with the town of Lubbock, TX/ Although it is rare to see homes of that beauty in Lubbock they do not make it so the homes seem too out of place.

One of the goals of the design team is not only to provide a successful space and design to provide a home but to provide a space that is satisfying to the eye and the family that will be living there according to their personal lifestyle. Some elements of design that the homes had were symmetry throughout. With this, it created spaces that were functional and able to be inhabited. Jeff Seal and his company strive to provide clients with beautiful, detailed homes that will be durable and last them as long as they wish. The homes that I toured designed by Jeff Seal were some of the most beautiful homes that I have seen and hope to be able to create work like that in my future career.
