redbud trail




















Set on a scenic one-acre lot in Westlake Hills, the Redbud Trail house balances thoughtful massing and transparency to frame expansive Texas Hill Country views. Three articulated volumes organize the home’s circulation spine, linking public and private wings while extending into the landscape to shape a protected courtyard and layered entry sequence. A restrained palette of brick, wood, and glass blurs interior and exterior boundaries, with a continuous hemlock ceiling and rift- and quarter-sawn white oak floors warming and softening the experience. The entry stair—steel and wood floating above a built-in planter—rises to a double-height glazed corner, while the living room opens through floor-to-ceiling sliders to a terrace and lap pool, grounded by a brick and Venetian plaster fireplace wall with a floating limestone hearth. In the primary suite, Carrara marble and Texas walnut continue the home’s material discipline, reinforcing a design language defined by restraint, connection to site, and seamless indoor–outdoor living.
