Architects: Lake Flato Photography: Casey Dunn & Bill Timmerman "Nestled at the confluence of two creeks on a Texas Hill Country Ranch, Mill Springs Homestead provides a water’s edge retreat. Four structures organize around the site of a 20th century dam, forming a courtyard shaded by mature pecan trees and an intimate connection to cool creeks. Anchored to the dam, the main living and gathering area provides dynamic views of the creeks and valley landforms shaped by time. Focused on the main creek and pecan grove, bedrooms leverage two treasures in Texas climate: water and shade. A series of artifacts crafted of locally quarried limestone, steel and glass, Mill Springs reflects the spirit of the original dam." www.lakeflato.com
Conceived as a modern farm compound in the temperate climate of Carmel Valley, California, the Touche Pass house is designed to blur the transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces, while maximizing views of the rolling, oak covered, grassy hills that surround it. The house occupies a small knoll, which is alluded to in the semi-circular, native dry-stacked stone wall at the protected outdoor court. Simple vernacular shapes clad in wood and rusted metal weave between open and covered courts, creating a playful family home.
