“We created this patchwork, not just on the facade but also in the interiors, because we needed to down the light,” says Noguera. “All these horizontal elements between the columns start working as a shading system, like louvers.”

Austin-based architecture firm Thoughtbarn set out to renovate an H-shaped residence in a wooded, hilly neighborhood known for its midcentury, ranch-style homes, but quickly discovered that the home’s slab was structurally failing and would need to be replaced.

The exterior is clad in board-and-batten siding, while the front porch is covered with stained pine. Both materials have a vertical emphasis, which speaks to the heritage oak trees on the .75-acre property.
