There is seldom a day that I don't think about design for Hill Country commercial or residential structures. I have long believed that the traditional home offers rooms that are not used and so waste energy, resources and time. Even with an abundance of size homes are often lacking in space for living as an artist or entrepreneur or other unique needs.
The home designs we plan to built for our Live-Work projects north of Dripping Springs will include choices for workshop/studio creative space and/or office work space with generous well organized storage.
There are many questions to respond to. What is the new Hill Country design look? How many square feet are needed. How should the space be organized?
How will the beauty of the natural landscape with native plants be maintained and improved upon? What materials and methods to use for eco friendly design while considering economic realities?
How do we stay true to our vision and meet the requirements of Hays County and TCEQ? How do we create an environment for simplified living? Who can help us along the way?
This week we met with Cammi Klier, founder of Custom Design Services, to talk initially about the vision for the 34 acres surrounding our home. She shares our respect for the land and is knowledgeable about eco practices. Go to Cammi's website to learn more about her work http://www.cdshomedesign.com/.
Check back here to learn more about our projects as they grow organically.
