MI-R Ranch

MI-R Ranch

A family ranch house located one hour east of Austin. On the building site, was the original family cabin, used as a weekend hunting retreat. The design of the family home references the the original cabin through a series of cabin-like forms that are linked with glassy connections. The roof of the second story is kept low, behind the roof of the main structure to preserve the desired single story scale an appearance upon arrival. Bricks from the original cabin’s chimney were preserved and will be incorporated into floor of the entry way as a decorative in-lay.
