ENVIRONMENT: WIMBERLEY RANCH
Location: Texas, USA.
Status: Project in Progress.
Brief:
To create a home that has both new and old world charm, for a young family living in the heart of Texas Hill Country.
Outcome:
Taking cues from the proposed Architecture, along with the history of home design in the local area; from the Mexican Haciendas to Spanish Colonial missionaries and Germanic settlements in the 18th and 19th Centuries, to the post-war popularisation of the American Ranch - we sought to incorporate key design features of the Texas Hill Country from classic periods to create a timeless interior that we hope will endure for years to come.
Additionally, combining the client’s requirement for a minimalist overall style with the need for both comfort and warmth in a family home, we played with a natural color palette throughout, including off-white clay plaster walls, dark stained oak hardwood and limestone floors, local douglas fir and ash wood carpentry, plus some green and brown ceramic tiles and bed linens to bring the client’s love of the outdoors inside.
