Modern Home in Texas Hill Country, Embracing its Rocky Surroundings with Elegance and Simplicity
Modern Home in Mason, Texas Showcases Michael Hsu's Architectural Style
In the heart of Texas, a modern home in Mason, approximately 100 miles northwest of Austin, is a testament to the clean, contemporary designs of Michael Hsu Office of Architecture. The house, wrapped in warm wood on one side and native stones on the other, blends seamlessly with the rugged landscape along the banks of the Llano River.
The modern abode, designed by Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, plays off its natural surroundings with open floor plans, natural light, and attention to local context and materials. The interior spaces are minimalist yet warm, featuring functional and aesthetic design elements that create a cozy, clean-lined sanctuary.
The living room boasts a large stone fireplace, while the kitchen includes two marble-topped islands and splashes of rich, navy blue Zellige tiles. Overnight guests have a cluster of guest casitas to stay in, each with a private porch. The house is laid out as a series of gathering spaces that run along the river, with every room oriented to take in the view.
The exterior of the house is a feast for the eyes, with the flat roof hovering like a canopy, delicately resting on high windows that flood the interior spaces with natural light and offer blue-sky views. A vast covered porch serves as the true heart of the home, almost doubling the total living space and including a summer kitchen with a built-in beer tap.
The house is a car collector's dream home, priced at $27,000,000 USD. The surroundings offer views of the Texas Hill Country, and the house is a featured listing.
