The Texas Hill House was developed for a young New York City couple as a retreat from the demands of urban life. All of the rooms in the house orient toward the open and primarily glass side of the home facing southwest. A ten foot eave cantilevers off this façade, protecting the interior from heat gain in the summer when the sun is higher in the sky. Additionally, a stand of trees forward of this elevation was pruned of its conifers leaving primarily deciduous trees to support heat regulation.

American wood frame construction can be viewed as geodetic design, such that exterior surface functions autonomously from structural elements. A standard and locally available truss fabrication technology achieves the primary long span roof structure. The empty cavity of the loft, enclosed by the roof truss and the two long bearing walls, is undifferentiated, neutral space.
