Britta Barts

Britta Barts is a founder and the principal designer of F&B Homes, a single family spec developer located in Austin, Texas. With a background in single family new construction, she knows the ins and outs of design expectations for luxury builders and investors. Buyers today anticipate floor plans which incorporate luxury finishes with functional, yet high concept, design. Her business acumen is finely tuned to work alongside builders and investors to help achieve their end goal of delivering a quality product with a favorable ROI.

Britta's background is in hotels where she spent close to a decade at Hilton Hotels working in legal, finance and asset management positions. Her design skillset is primed to incorporate budgeting and ROI needs for investors. She delivers high design while remaining mindful of budgeting and investment goals. She is also an investor herself and has renovated projects for her personal investment portfolio. She has a BA from Florida State and an MBA from Loyola Marymount University.

Communication is the key to delivering a quality end product, and Britta prides herself on her communication skills. Clarifying an aesthetic, understanding end goals, verifying the budget, talking through install needs, and staying on top of trades are a few of the key qualities a designer needs to make a builder or investor successful.

Britta's design approach stems from a childhood of stretching a small budget. Big design does not have to mean big dollars. Britta's strength is knowing how to triage budgets so all areas feel expensive.
