Ridge Hollow

Set high above the water’s edge, this Lake Travis residence takes full advantage of its elevated site with strong horizontal rooflines and cantilevered terraces that project into the view. Expansive glazing captures the changing light across the lake, while deep overhangs and recessed walls temper heat and glare. Outdoor living spaces are arranged as a sequence of terraces that step with the bluff, each offering a unique vantage point. A palette of stone, stucco, and warm wood lends texture and permanence to the contemporary form.
