The 5,000 square foot private residence is located in the community of Horseshoe Bay, above the shores of Lake LBJ, and responds to the Texas Hill Country vernacular prescribed by the community: shallow metal roofs, regional materials, sensitive scale massing and water-wise landscaping. The house opens to the scenic north and north-west views and fractures and shifts in order to keep significant oak, mesquite, elm, cedar and persimmon trees, in the process creating lush private patios and limestone terraces. The Owners desired an accessible residence built for flexibility as they age. This led to a single level home, and the challenge to nestle the step-less house into the sloping landscape. Full height glazing opens the house to the very beautiful arid landscape, while porches and overhangs protect interior spaces from the harsh Texas sun. Expansive walls of industrial insulated glazing panels allow soft modulated light to penetrate the interior while providing visual privacy. An integral lap pool with adjacent low fenestration reflects dappled light deep into the house. Chaste stained concrete floors and blackened steel focal elements contrast with islands of mesquite flooring, cherry casework and fir ceilings. Selective areas of exposed limestone walls, some incorporating salvaged timber lintels, and cor-ten steel components further the contrast within the uncomplicated framework. The Owner’s object and art collection is incorporated into the residence’s sequence of connecting galleries creating a choreography of passage that alternates between the lucid expression of simple ranch house architecture and the rich accumulation of their heritage. The general contractor for the project is local custom homebuilder Dauphine Homes. Structural Engineering is provided by Structures Inc. of Austin, Texas, and Landscape Architecture is provided by Prado Design LLC in conjunction with Jill Nokes, also of Austin.

Black Granite Gravel driveway. Algonquin flagstone strips, slab steps, and water feature. Cor-ten steel raised plant bed edging. Stainless steel bed edging. Mixed plantings.

This birds eye view of the house demonstrates the stepped levels and how the design follows the contours of the slope. Each of the three blocks are connected by glazed link spaces. This design has a simple logic to arrange a large house on a sloping site, without the costs of excavating large quantities of material to cut into the slope.

View of the self build house from the garden area. Trees, lawn, and edible garden spaces are woven around the design to create a very well connected house to the green surroundings. The curved form of the roof follows the slope of the ground so that the design is integrated into the landscape character and setting.

This was a complete remodel of a traditional 80's split level home. With the main focus of the homeowners wanting to age in place, making sure materials required little maintenance was key. Taking advantage of their beautiful view and adding lots of natural light defined the overall design.
