Lake Travis

Set against the rolling hills above the lake, this residence pairs rugged native limestone with a series of steeply pitched, standing-seam metal rooflines that break and shift across the facade, echoing the ridgelines beyond. Tall stone chimneys anchor the composition, while dark-framed windows and glazed double doors puncture the stone in careful, deliberate rhythm, catching the warm glow of late-day sun.

A broad motor court, framed by drought-tolerant grasses, yucca, and flowering shrubs, sets a relaxed yet substantial tone of arrival. In the golden light of early evening, the interplay of stone, metal, and timber gives the home a grounded, ranch-inspired character which is modern in its clean geometry, yet deeply connected to the rugged Hill Country landscape that surrounds it.
