Designed for discerning clients, this high-design ranch home in the Texas Hill Country employs classic dogtrot-style architecture.
Home of the Week: A 19th-Century Brooklyn Townhouse That’s Updated for the 21st Century, in 2017. So when it came to creating an epic residence on the clients’ ranch in Fredericksburg, over two hours from, where they’d visit on the weekends, Burton was tasked with pairing the location’s historic architecture with the innovative vision of his clients.Exclusive: This $20 Million Sag Harbor Home Has Two Boat Slips and a Private BeachDubbed Roam Ranch, the scenic property is more than just a home.
Baldridge was inspired by the historic dogtrot-style settler buildings from the 1800s, in which enclosed living and-or working spaces are joined by a covered, open-air space. Not are dogtrots a functional place to work out of the heat of the sun, they help to harness breezes during the scorching hot Texas summers. The highly functional feature endures across the Texas.
The exterior blends into the landscape and is crafted from Douglas fir, which is abundant in central Texas, and Corten Steel. Many of the interior materials were sourced nearby; the fireplace is made of local limestone, and the hearth material was sourced on property. Other materials found throughout the home include rift-sawn oak, cedar, Douglas fir, and clay tile in the bathroom.
Despite the incredible interiors and architecture, Baldridge recalls one of the most memorable moments—the carport. “We have never worked on a project where the signature moment was the carport,” he says. “Usually the carport is an afterthought where we maybe wish we didn’t have to do it at all. This is also used for event spaces, so when they cater and they’re doing educational events or sustainable farming, they actually move all the cars out and set up tables there.
