Jobe Corral Architects and Crowell Builders have designed an impressive ranch-inspired home in the Texas Hill Country that was conceived as a place for celebration and bringing people together. The property includes a main house, an entertaining pavilion, and renovated accessory buildings, all featuring reclaimed wood siding and a standing-seam metal roof to give the home a rustic character. The design was developed to reflect the inventiveness of ranchers, resulting in structures that showcase themselves unapologetically.

Why it matters

In an era where many homes are built for private, individual use, this property bucks the trend by prioritizing communal spaces and entertaining. The thoughtful layout and serene setting make it an ideal destination for gatherings of all sizes, from intimate get-togethers to larger celebrations, showcasing how mission-driven design can create homes that foster connection and community.

The details

The main architectural feature of the home is a cross gable that provides high, airy interior spaces and light-filtered porches. The cross gables feature large expanses of glass, pivot doors, and deep overhangs, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The property also includes a pavilion with cooking, dining, and living areas, a pool, various fire features, and renovated guest accessory buildings. Reclaimed wood siding and a standing-seam metal roof give the home a rustic, ranch-inspired aesthetic.
