Ranch Road House
The Ranch Road House isn't your typical Texas home. Made entirely out of concrete, the brooding brutalist fortress is perched on a 42-acre mountain top. Its L-shape wraps around the site affording the entire residence with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The 3,700-square foot interior shares the same monolithic facade as the exterior and offers 4 bedrooms, including a massive master suite, 2 bathrooms, and an optional wine cellar. The open living space's 13-foot ceilings are fitted with 7-foot tall windows that overlook the entire Texas Hill Country. And for the devoted gearhead, there's an 800-square-foot garage to house all the toys.

Parisian Carpentry Workshop
With its rugged timber beams and exposed stone walls, the Parisian Carpentry Workshop is an ode to its industrial roots. The new 4-bedroom residence is housed in a former carpentry atelier. Its main living area sits below a soaring pitched roof where frosted glazing washes the room in natural light. The open space also consists of a dining room and kitchen topped with a sleeping mezzanine. Original wood stoves remain throughout, adding to the home's historic character. While the master bedroom and a studio are also located on the ground floor, an art nouveau staircase leads down to a lower level with an additional living room, bedroom, and a pair of enfilade-style rooms. Each story has direct access to a private outdoor courtyard.
