La Grange Landscape

This landscape intervention creates a series of outdoor "rooms" for a house perched on a bluff overlooking the Colorado River basin, designed to help homeowners enjoy the quintessential Central Texas views of wildlife, farmland, and dramatic sunsets throughout the year. The project weaves amongst a live oak grove adjacent to a new swimming pool, using continuous Lueders limestone pavers to create unified outdoor spaces—including lounge, grilling, dining, and pool areas—that step down naturally with the topography while delineating habitable areas from the surrounding landscape.
