A house proposal in the Texas countryside.
Designed while a part of DOMAIN Office.
DESCRIPTION
DOMAIN has designed a 350 square meter ranch which is shaped per programmatic, environmental, and performance desires based on the client’s identified preferences and a site evaluation. The result is a form that is both foreign and recognizable, comfortable, but unique. Located in a setting specific to Texas, we have conceived the home as a pavilion on a ranch, Smith Ranch is both introverted and extroverted: each space has a relationship either to its interior logic or to the surrounding terrain with certain moments that provide extensive views of the of the ranch. The home is designed as a sequence of connected blocks - an arrangement that eliminates the need for long corridors and hallways. Following the client’s lead, the plan has been organized such that spaces simultaneously feel casual, luxurious and considered. Commissioned in 2020 by Smith Ranch, Unbuilt.
