The place
The place
The Texas Hill Country informed the design of this home on a cattle ranch. Farmer Payne Architects combined a broad, low composition with large windows and outdoor rooms, giving the house a close relationship with the surrounding landscape.
Limestone quarried in West Texas, reclaimed wood floors and antique timber beams establish the material palette. Inside, the rooms have the character of a traditional lodge, while glazing opens the shared living and dining spaces towards the courtyard and pool.
Sheltered porches and wide pocket doors extend daily life beyond the interior. The house was planned around its full-time owners and their family, with interior design by Kori Shurley, landscape architecture by Neal Design Group and construction by Hamilton Builders.
