Guadalupe River Residence

The design for this relaxed weekend retreat was informed by its compact sloping site, close proximity to neighbors, and direct waterfront access. Local flood regulations require the residence to be raised above flood level giving the opportunity to create a lower level outdoor living space, connecting the house to its surrounding landscape. The long, narrow residence dramatically culminates in dual living areas; both indoor and outdoor to take advantage of a treetop view. The screened porch offers privacy from neighbors while permitting cooling breezes and filtered daylight.
