The house

A long, low house drawn around the oaks

Every live oak on the lot was surveyed before a wall was placed. The house bends into an L to keep thirty-seven of them.

The walls are Lueders limestone, under dark bronze roofs with thin, deep eaves. One gallery runs from the oak pivot door through to the terrace; in the great room, the whole south wall slides away into pockets in the stone. The primary suite sits apart at the east end with a walled garden.

Upstairs, a single volume over the east wing holds three bedroom suites, a game room and a media room. The casita, across a covered breezeway, has its own bath and kitchenette.

Architecture: Pryor Weld Architects, Austin
Interiors: Studio Lantana, Dallas
Builder: Caldwell & Sons Custom Homes
Landscape: Fieldwork Landscape Studio

The great room with its glass wall fully open to the terrace and pool, a limestone fireplace wall and a slatted white oak ceiling. — The great room, 32 × 24 ft, glass wall open to the south

The kitchen: a long quartzite island with seating for six, rift-sawn white oak cabinetry and a full-height quartzite wall behind the range. — The kitchen, 24 × 18 ft, and its 14-foot island

The dining room at dusk, a walnut table for ten under a linear bronze chandelier, with the lit wine room behind glass. — Dining for ten, the wine room beyond
