1700 SF home overlooking the Llano River. We used repurposed stone to build the core of the house with light wood-frame rooms on either side of it. The stone we mined from one of the client’s ancestor’s home which had a unique back story of its own. The stone became the core of this small, modern ranch house, forming a large, wide central hall — the dog run — and providing a place to house bookshelves and fold-down bunks for guests. At either end of the dog-run are 5’x10′ windows that can be pivoted open to allow the entire space to be open to the outdoors and prevailing breeze.
The client, a venerable author and cook, asked us to incorporate simple, affordable white kitchen appliances for his kitchen. Out of that request, we developed a poor-man’s Jetson aesthetic of plastic white laminate, long-leaf pine and painted cabinets.
