Selected Work

A portfolio of places. Built in metal, stone, and light.

Paragon's work lives in the arrival sequence of communities, parks, and public spaces. Each project below is a complete site-integrated build: from design collaboration through fabrication and final install.

Ridgeland Hills

Location
Conroe, Texas
Scope
Entry monument & tower
Year
2024

A two-part community entry for a Camillo Companies master-planned community: a stacked-stone tower anchored in Corten steel, and a long, low monument wall with halo-lit dimensional letters set against gabion lighting. Designed to read at highway speed in daylight and hold its own at dusk.

Candela Sunshine Park

Location
Richmond, Texas
Scope
Custom pavilion, Corten sundial & sculptural site art
Year
2024

A lakeside amenity park at the heart of the Candela community, and one of the most complete expressions of what Paragon does in a single site. Three distinct Paragon-built pieces share the plaza: a custom structural-steel pavilion with a layered sunrise-gradient louver canopy, a Corten steel sundial on a radial concrete plaza, and a series of sculptural companion elements that tie the space together against the water's edge.

Each piece was developed in collaboration with the landscape architect, engineered by our partners, and fabricated and installed by our shop. The pavilion's color-gradient louver system is a one-of-a-kind assembly, not a catalog product.

Primary entry monument
Year

A south-facing community entry for a Hispanic-heritage master-plan. A structural steel tower holds a dimensional sun medallion and rises from a stone base, paired with a long plinth wall carrying dimensional brass letters. Warm, sun-lit, and layered with landscape color.

Maple Heights

Location
Magnolia, Texas
Scope
Entry tower & monument wall
Year
2024

A traditional-language entry for a classically-detailed community. Brick piers and a metal belvedere frame a cast compass-rose medallion, with a perforated metal band spanning the lower pier, a call-and-response between masonry craft and precision metalwork.

Sorella Amenity Center

Location
Magnolia, Texas
Scope
Custom pavilion structure & identity metals
Year
2023

A two-tier pavilion at the gateway to the Sorella amenity district. A charcoal steel frame with X-bracing, a stacked-stone column base, and a stained wood plank ceiling warm the space underneath. The taller tower carries a coral cut-metal “S” emblem; the lower picnic pavilion extends from it under a brown standing-seam roof, with dimensional address numerals reading 21000 across the soffit edge.

Paragon fabricated and installed the structure, the address numerals, and the “S” emblem. Every visible piece of metal that gives the Sorella amenity center its identity.

57 Acres Park

Location
Kemah, Texas
Scope
Custom pavilion, pavilion feature wall & site art
Year
2024

A pavilion-and-playground feature at the heart of a regional park. Paragon built the open-air picnic pavilion itself, a steel frame supporting a two-tier metal roof, with a deep blue lower roof and a clerestory band above that lifts daylight into the space underneath.

Inside, a long Corten steel panel cut with a migrating flight of herons wraps the back wall. Backdrop to the pavilion, landmark from across the field, a piece of site art visible from every approach.

Kaleidoscope Park, Elyson

Location
Katy, Texas
Scope
Park identity & sculptural panel
Year
2024

A park identity for Elyson's signature amenity, where every element, down to the letters, had to feel playful without going cartoon. Multi-colored dimensional letters sit against a perforated chevron panel backed with translucent color, casting shifting light across the adjacent shade-structure and playground.

Briarley

Location
Montgomery, Texas
Scope
Entry monument & secondary marker
Year
2026

A quiet, stone-led entry for a new neighborhood along a regional corridor. A low stacked-stone monument with dimensional letters anchors the primary approach; a smaller companion marker carries the community mark at the secondary drive, keeping the visual language consistent from first sight to final turn.
