Cypress Creek Residence

Perched atop a hill, this residence opens to breathtaking views of the Colorado river and the picturesque Texas hill country. The modern design emphasizes simple forms and clean lines. Nestled within tight setbacks, the layout features the study, dining area, and main stairwell that fronts the street, while the entertaining spaces and family bedrooms capture the southern light and the scenic views to the rear.

​

As you enter through a large 10-foot pivot door you are greeted by an unassuming foyer that leads into an expansive main living area. Here, the dining, kitchen, and breakfast alcove flow effortlessly, maximizing views from the south-facing façade, adorned with extensive glazing that blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

 

A standout feature of this home is the large screened-in porch, designed as an outdoor living space complete with a kitchen and retractable screens, allowing for an open-air experience at a moment's notice.

 

The owner's suite is situated on the upper level at the southwest corner to provide panoramic views of the river and tranquil pool. The material palette consists of metal, plaster, and composite siding, reflecting a commitment to simplicity with clean lines and forms. Hardwoods and wood slats complement and add warmth to the material selections.

 

The landscape design embraces minimalism, incorporating Corten steel planters, steel edging, gravel, and decomposed granite. Additionally, the home is equipped with a 21-kilowatt solar panel system and a power wall, supplying over 80% of its energy needs. The color palette harmonizes earth tones, greys, and blacks, enveloping this home atop a hill capturing and complementing the beauty of its surroundings.
