Formwork is finally removed at the stair tower! The wood grain texture left behind by the timber formliners gives the concrete surround a tactile, permanent quality.

Every site has a logic of its own. On this Zilker lot, a 15-foot grade drop, heritage live oaks, and neighboring homes did the organizing work before a single line was drawn.

The grade became terraces. The oaks provided privacy and shade. The massing responded to its neighbors. Texas brick and wood grounded the modern form in its regional context.

A home rooted in its environment, and shaped by the people who call it home.
