Clear Rock Lookout是一个原始的钢制猎场、写作室和观景台,以庆祝迷人的风景和野生动物的景观。这座450平方英尺的建筑坐落在石灰石悬崖边上,当从山顶接近时,必须被 “发现”。建筑物的这种逐渐显露的方式加强了从该结构提供的独特优势所带来的展开的景观全景。

Clear Rock Lookout is a raw steel hunting blind, writing studio, and observation deck that celebrates the stunning landscape and wildlife views. The 450sf building is nestled below a limestone cliff edge, and has to be “discovered” when approached from the top of the mesa. This gradual reveal of the building strengthens the unfolding landscape panorama made possible from the unique vantage provided by the structure.

这个地点是业主经过多年缓慢地穿越和测绘树木茂盛的悬崖边缘,专门为其景观而选择的。现代的形式与西德克萨斯1000英亩牧场的其他地方所使用的山地风格形成鲜明对比。选择自然风化的钢材是为了与周围环境保持一致,也是为了向主人年轻时焊接油罐的经历致敬。

The site was specifically chosen for its views by the owner after years of slowly traversing and mapping the wooded cliff edge. The modern form contrasts with the Hill Country vernacular used on the rest of the 1,000 acre West Texas ranch. Naturally weathering steel was chosen to age with the surroundings and to pay homage to the owner’s youth spent welding oil tanks.

大片的玻璃,各种温暖的木材,以及高度细致的装配,完成了瞭望台 “景观中的珠宝盒 “的表达。
Clear Rock Ranch在2017年获得了奥斯汀当地的AIA奖。

Large sheets of glass, a variety of warm woods, and a highly detailed assembly complete the “jewelbox in the landscape” expression of the lookout.
Clear Rock Ranch received a local AIA Austin award in 2017.
