San Marcos Residence

Filling the void

Location San Marcos, TX
Home Size 9,000 sf
Completed 2011

Following the demolition of an existing residence on a family ranch south of Austin, our challenge was to design a new residence to fit like a puzzle piece within the existing formal English garden. The architecture had to respond to the spirit, scale, and established organizational axes of the garden in order to create a unified experience for the property. The clients were intimately involved in all aspects of the design and execution and that collaboration produced a legacy home to be enjoyed across generations.

Charles Travis did a wonderful job guiding us through the process of designing our dream home and helping us find the right builder and designer as well. A terrific listener, he is creative and loves to solve problems. Charles is detail-oriented and has a terrific sense of space.
