Ledgecroft Residence

• Sited on 1,100 acres in the Texas Hill Country, the project features clean, desert modern forms that reside in harmony with its rock-bluff setting while serving as a counterpoint to the typical Hill Country ranch estate.

  Despite the expansiveness of the property, it is a project that emphasizes experience. There are no clean views of this structure as a “thing.”  Instead, you process it in its details and moments.

• The project’s materials work in sympathy with the setting—honed limestone, architectural concrete, and large panes of sliding glass that reflect the expansive panorama. It’s heroic but subtle – the structure relies on rigorous detailing and elegant massing, becoming a single piece integrated with its seemingly limitless surroundings.

• Landscaping strategies work to minimize irrigation and to achieve the illusion that no landscaping has even occurred. Within the project, lush greenery emerges in small pockets to create a water-wise oasis.
