Piano House Entry
The entry to the residence, the centerpiece of the property, sets Piano House’s tone. Here, a south-facing wall of windows offers views to the Hill Country, a panorama that serves as backdrop to the baby grand that is the project’s namesake. Beside the piano rests a wooden pram, handmade by the owner out of white oak and mahogany, with oars of cedar and Douglas fir. Special care was taken to ensure these items are not only highlighted upon entry, but also protected from UV exposure, moisture, and temperature change. The walls of limestone that complete the framing of these items are the only ones that continue into Piano House’s interior, showcasing its natural composition.
