Roam Ranch is a 4,362-square-foot single-family home located on a working ranch near Fredericksburg, Texas. It embodies a blend of rigorous modern design with a central Texas vernacular evident in its form, finishes, and essence—a distinctive fusion of contemporary and traditional architectural styles.
I wanted to show you a design I’m working on and ask for any suggestions or recommendations you think could help improve it. It’s a single-family home for a lifelong friend, on a lot that is 14.28 meters wide and 35 meters deep in Pueblo Belgrano, Entre Rios, Argentina.
The program is as follows: in the first phase (ground floor only), it needs:
A bedroom (which will become a study when the upper floor is built).
A full bathroom with a separate vanity area.
A laundry room.
An open-concept space with a kitchen island, dining area, and living room with a fireplace.
A semi-covered gallery/outdoor living area.
A garage for two cars (which could also serve as the house’s barbecue/quincho area, with a grill, countertop, and sink).
In the future, on the upper floor, it needs:
A master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bathroom with a separate vanity area.
Two children’s bedrooms with desks.
A full bathroom with a separate vanity area for those two bedrooms.
A multipurpose room/possible fourth bedroom, with access to a terrace.
The shape of the house is generated by the union between the functional layout of the interiors and their best exposure creating two outdoor areas that are thus shaped with two different purposes: the south area with large windows facing the countryside and a portico and the area facing the north façade that is closed and impermeable towards the road.
In the northeast area, there are facilities such as the garage, laundry room, and a bathroom, while to the west there is the living area, composed of the kitchen and the living room, which extends toward the outside thanks to a covered area.
The bedrooms, bathrooms, and walk-in closet are located in the east part of the building. The generous master bedroom with a dedicated suite bathroom and a walk-in closet get light from the large glass door facing south that allows also a beautiful view towards the garden.
The layout of the house allows the indoor areas to communicate directly with the outdoor ones, expanding the space both physically, through the porch, and visually, through the large glass doors
