Chula Vista / Fredericksburg, TX

The Preserve at Chula Vista is a small acreage development located on a high mesa a few miles from Fredericksburg, TX, marketed to young urban families looking to move out of the city.  This speculative design proposes a contemporary take on the traditional ‘Hill Country aesthetic’, imagining a multi-gabled farmhouse that gives inhabitants views in all directions of the rolling landscape surrounds.  The gable volumes are offset along their length to provide covered porches for entries and exterior dining.  The rear porch steps down onto a stone patio that incorporates a pool, with native plantings integrating the terraces into the surrounding terrain.
