sherman residence
In a quiet corner of a beautiful oak lined Barton Hills neighborhood an extended family found an opportunity to create a private family compound. Two houses for two generations. Grand matriarch and young family side-by-side. A special vision for a unique property.
For the young family, creating a sense of “retreat” was key. Bounding a common central yard the limestone and wood volumes of the home tuck between clusters of mature trees that dot the sloping lawn. From the command center kitchen the home pinwheels out over entertaining areas, spilling out onto a back terrace and integral lap pool which divides the private master suite wing from the shared spaces. In front, the multistory garage’s feature birdcage stair rests on a slender stiletto heel and connects a rooftop garden deck with Hill Country views to a dedicated media room tucked into the hillside.
