Our new-build rural project in Central Texas amicably relies on the tradition of settlement patterns in the western united States, clusters of relatively modest buildings linked by covered boardwalks and breezeways situated in an arrangement to create a sense of “place” somewhere that’s never been occupied before. to help ground this desire we used legible building placements stitched together by clear axes and alleyways. Use of conventional materials helps identify the overall concept and keeps costs manageable for the owner/contractor of the property.
