Fredericksburg, Texas
The compact 2,400 s.f. home is conceived around the original “German Sunday Houses" of the historic Hill Country Community offering weekend retreats for families leaving the larger cities for a weekend getaways. These homes located close to Main Street shopping areas were focused on a main living building “barn” and framed by a growing series of attached porches-some infilled for growing family needs. Although a primary residence, the design concept followed vernacular buildings of the area with a contemporary focus- complete built shed “additions” engaging the year round outside living lifestyle of the area. The 2.5-acre parcel of land offers a unique hidden compound for living away from the street surrounded by mature oak trees –bounded by a river to the East. Outdoor connections are reinforced with year round utilized screen porches as well as open areas on all sides to connect the home with its surroundings.
