Continuity of Regional Tradition: Burton Farm

August 08, 2016

Our work at the Burton Farm draws from traditional farmhouse construction in the Texas countryside.  In the composition of this elegant yet modest entryway, we were inspired by a local historical precedent, the small yet gracefully designed Carl Wilhelm Rummell House.  The beautiful exposed beam ceiling, the scale of the windows above the door, and the placement of the stairs all pay homage to Texas architectural history.
