HOMESTEAD

SIMPLY SERENE // The secluded 300,000-acre property, which includes a working farm and cattle ranch, rises from the scenic rock formations of remote West Texas. One boulder named “Zen Rock” by the homeowners was kept exposed and sited just off the master bedroom.

VAST VISTAS // Large glass wall openings and a fully operable window wall in the living room allow for an abundance of natural light, fresh air, and sweeping views of the ranchland beyond.

LIVING LARGE // The outdoor dining area connects to a bar with a large pass-through window. The idea was to be able to take in the views while also taking advantage of prevailing breezes and comfortable outdoor living.

NATURAL ELEMENTS // Britt Design Group used natural, simple, and pure materials in the interior design. Wood, stone, plaster, steel, and concrete create transparency in material and form as not to compete with the rugged beauty of the landscape. “The remote nature of the project required creativity, we needed to find craftsmen and women who were able to travel to the project location to implement the intricate plaster application (applied in the living room), steel fabrication, and beautiful furniture-quality cabinetry used in the kitchen and master bath,” says Laura Britt.

ROOM WITH A VIEW // The 5,000 square foot home features a modern, clean-lined, low maintenance ranch design with luxury comfort. The connection to the land was paramount to the homeowners.
