NATURE AT HOME

WHO WE ARE

We are a multicultural family living in the Texas Hill Country. Tom is an engineer, originally from Germany. Aurélie is a designer, originally French-Indonesian.

We have a house in San Antonio that we renovated ourselves in a modern European style, with a contemplative nature garden and water feature.

We also have a 21-acre land near Bandera where we are working to restore a native ecosystem and create a sanctuary for wild birds and pollinators, and where we plan to live.
