Texas Twister

This weekend and vacation retreat 45 minutes outside of Dallas combines nods at classic modernism, wonderful natural vernacular that blend into it’s surroundings. The unique canopy that extends out from the entryway is a great example of this. It emulates the stringy organic look of the brush and trees that make up the local landscape, and also has a hint of the shape of an actually twister to it. The house was designed by buildingstudio.

    I love this house
    I’m not crazy about the canopy though
    Its a bit of forced whimsy on what is a house seriously integrated with its environment.
