9 - Trahan Ranch - Hillary Kidd





     This project is located in the heart of Texas hill country. The residence is 3,200 square feet and is situated on a fourteen acre sloped site with native oaks, natural springs and unhindered views. The layout of the house is a direct response to the site conditions.

    

      The front exterior of the house is made of heavy materials that rise from the earth, which is in sharp contrast to the more ephemeral back. At the down slope side of the house, the structure becomes lighter and opens up to the landscape. Steel pipe columns spread-out at unsuspecting angles dancing along the rugged landscape. I really enjoy the materials that were used on this residence as well as the large overhanging roof and the structure that supports it.
