Location
Fort Davis, Texas
This new construction home, located near the Davis Mountains in west Texas, is atop a ridgeline that provides a 360 degree view of surrounding landmarks - from the McDonald Observatory to the city of Marfa in the valley below.
Built for resilience against sun, wind and possible wildfires, this house alternates between solid, sheltering masses and shaded areas of open glazing.
The design also features a rooftop deck for amateur astronomy and DarkSky compliant exterior lighting.
