“HillHaus,” an extraordinary project nestled in the heart of Houston Hill Country, Damascus Design Build, is thrilled to share the remarkable story of this architectural triumph. Blending contemporary Scandinavian influences with the timeless charm of a farmhouse aesthetic, HillHaus represents the epitome of modern design innovation.
From the moment one approaches HillHaus, the seamless fusion of natural materials becomes apparent. The composition of cedar and metal-clad siding lends the residence an understated elegance, showcasing our commitment to sustainable construction practices without compromising style. This deliberate choice harmonizes with the surrounding landscape, creating a dialogue between the house and the pristine natural beauty of the 11-acre property.
A believer in the transformative power of minimalistic design aesthetics, HillHaus reflects this philosophy, liberating its owners from the clutter and chaos of the bustling city of Houston. Every element of the residence has been meticulously curated, allowing for a sense of tranquility and serenity to pervade the space. The clean lines, open floor plan, and thoughtfully integrated storage solutions seamlessly combine to create an atmosphere of pure harmony and simplicity.
Building on a hill presents its unique set of challenges, which was wholeheartedly embraced, knowing the rewards would be immeasurable. The rare rolling elevation of the land provided an opportunity to craft a dwelling that captures the continuous breeze while strategically positioned windows mesmerizing sunsets that paint the sky with vivid hues. The design process required careful consideration of the site’s topography and the utilization of innovative construction techniques to ensure the home seamlessly melded with its natural surroundings.
In our pursuit of sustainable design, we ensured that HillHaus was not only ready to embrace solar technology but also incorporated design-forward building practices. The residence boasts energy-efficient systems and sustainable materials, reducing its carbon footprint and minimizing its impact on the environment. By seamlessly integrating renewable energy solutions, we were able to provide the owners with a home that embodies their commitment to responsible living.
