Texas limestone accents are the only exterior signs that Casa de Sol y Luna might be in Central Texas or even on a sunflower-filled plain in southern Spain, rather than a Mexican settlement. The house exudes the richness of a Spanish colonial structure hundreds of years old, but in reality it’s only a couple of years old...except, that is, in the imagination of Carolyn Claiborne.

Andy Phillips has never been one to shy away from a difficult undertaking. In partnership with builders Art Lenard and Dr. Sonny Cofer, Phillips is a co-owner of Integrity Homes, based in Kerrville. The company, which focuses primarily on upscale custom home building and remodeling work, is known for its expertise in tackling diverse and difficult projects. But without a doubt, the project closest to Phillips own heart has been the renovation and remodeling of his own home on Virginia Drive—a labor of love that he and his wife Maggie have taken on together.
