Steve B. Chambers
Modern Residential Architecture Shadywood
Chambers Architects in collaboration with Ralph Hawkins, HKS, Inc.
This residence is executed with clarity and simplicity of the owner’s modernist sensibilities, integrated with our firm’s regionalist convictions. In collaboration with the client who is an architect himself, we created a home that is thoroughly modern in its use of space, light, massing, and proportion.
Regional character was achieved through the abstraction of elements of Texas culture. The home features a massive central wall with stone lintels which penetrates the external walls of the house. It uses a regional matrix of massive Texas limestone blocks, standing seam metal roof, dry stack stone wall at entry, and deep-shaded back porch, characteristic of Texas Hill Country homes.
