In Hill Country, the low design office uses a simple, industrial palette to build a durable, surprisingly open house that sits lightly on the ground.
One afternoon, about three years ago, Architect Ryan Bolom was roaming around a plot of land near Buchanan Lake in Central Texas, trying to find an ideal site for his customers’ house. The couple – a pair of gardening enthusiasts with two elder sons – remained just outside Houston, and recently bought 23 acres of land near Burnett, on which they planned to build a house for their retirement years.
Julie and Chris Kelly hired Ryan Bolom, the architect of the low design office to build a low -impact house on a parcel of land near Buchanan Lake in Texas. An integrated rainwater collection system in the roof can harvest 2,510 gallons per inch of rain, and nearby is the only water source of 29,175-chanting tank assets.

“We always thought it would be good to have something united.” Located in Texas Hill Country, Kelis’s plot is part of the Wolf Creek Renge Development – a former cattle farm is divided into 64 parcels. The topography is beautiful, but harsh, rolling hills, limestone outflows, hearty brushes and abundant cedar trees.
The house floats on the hill, which reduces its effect on the landscape, taking advantage of the surrounding ideas. The design, which holds primary living places on the upper floor, can be updated with an additional low-level bedroom in the future.

A workshop and storage space with corrugated metal siding sits at the north -east end of the house, adjacent to the carport. The deep ceiling overhang provides shadow during the hottest months.
