Tarry House, USA

Tarry (verb): to stay somewhere longer than expected. To delay leaving.

The Tarry House was conceived as a place for celebration, to be with friends and bring others together forming new relationships and strengthening old ones.

It is a space to welcome many, as well as nurture a few in its striking Hill Country setting.

The design was developed under the premise that the forms and detailing should reflect the inventiveness of ranchers. This straightforward way of building and living, resulted in structures that show themselves unapologetically.

The main architectural feature is a cross gable that provides high and airy interior spaces as well as light filtered porches. The cross gables have large expanses of glass with pivot doors and deep overhangs, that create a space that is both indoors and out.

A derelict barn at the location of the current structure was dismantled. The concrete cistern stands as a functional artifact from what previously stood and helps to organize the structures in creating the outdoor rooms.

Reclaimed barnwood is used to clad the exterior of the home, showing the history of the site.

The project also includes a pavilion with cooking, eating, and living areas, a pool, various fire elements, and renovated accessory buildings for guests.
