A Builder worth building  with

Chris Peterson has been building luxury homes since 1994, first in California, since 2011 here in Austin, where Rivendale has become one of the city's most trusted custom homebuilders.

Over a thousand homes. Hundreds of 5-star reviews. A founder who serves as president of the Austin Infill Coalition and remains personally engaged with every home that carries the Rivendale name.

When you build with us, you are not hiring a builder. You're partnering with three decades of knowledge and a deep understanding of Austin's land, codes, trades, and neighborhoods to create a home that still feels right twenty years from now.

Architect & Design forward. built to endure.

Rivendale Homes begins with the architecture, not the floor plan catalog. We collaborate with Austin's most respected residential firms — including Reach Architects and LaRue Architects — and we've built our process around one job: executing an architect's vision without compromising it. On close-in lots in Westlake and Tarrytown, where trees, slopes, and setbacks decide everything, that partnership is the difference between a good home and an exceptional one.
