Inspired by the classic shape and character found in old Texas stone farmhouses.
Although newly built, this home reflects the land and is timeless in its design. Our client was drawn to the classic shape, and character found in old stone farmhouses in Texas. They desired to satisfy modern needs for natural light, views, and flow throughout the house.
Our solution was to create a central 1 ½ story block with the feel of an old stone farmhouse to anchor the home. We designed a light-filled living room flanked with a wall of windows on the two long sides to join the central block to a 1-story wing with a dine-in kitchen, pantry, and built-in breakfast booth.
We wrapped the main living spaces with covered porches to capture the view and breezes across the Guadalupe River Valley.
The house is built to rigorous energy standards and features rainwater collection and solar panels on the rear of the garage.
