Ridgecrest Residence by Cottam Hargrave

From Cottam Hargrave: This family-centered 3800sf residence is located on five acres in the West Lake Hills area of Austin. The building site is located over 500’ into the property, enhancing both privacy and sight lines. Because of the steep slope and the desire to minimize level changes within the house, linearity dominates, dictating the structure to follow a limestone ledge on the property. This linear arrangement along the ledge forces the garage to be a part of the entry sequence, which indirectly becomes the icon of the house. On the adjacent facades, two very long and overlapping shed roofs further differentiate the form.

    Definitely consider that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest factor to remember of. I say to you, I certainly get irked whilst other people think about issues that they plainly do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing with no need side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you
