Rancho Sereno is an equestrian ranch that serves as a bed and breakfast also. The project was envisioned as a grouping of small "casitas" centered on a small lake. Phase 1 is located in a heavily treed area. The design is low and long with all the rooms having views facing the lake.
This design addresses the context of a more open building site. The buildings stand tall above the grass and have a higher roof line to relate with the backdrop of trees. Each living area has a direct view of the lake.

Crooked Oak is a weekend retreat in West Texas. The client desired a traditional styled farm house with modern amenities. The main living area allows for large family gatherings where all can interact.
This rural retreat was conceived after a visit by the client to Rancho Sereno. The large windows exploit the views of a large private lake. The breezeway provides a sheltered seating area and a separation of the main living area and the secondary bedrooms.
