Explore the distinctive architectural language of Texas with Texas Made / Texas Modern: The House and the Land. This beautifully curated book examines how modern design principles merge with the rugged heritage of Texas ranch architecture, creating a uniquely regional approach to modern living.
Written by Helen Thompson and photographed by Casey Dunn—the acclaimed duo behind Marfa Modern—this book highlights homes that embrace both contemporary European-inspired forms and the practical, grounded spirit of Texas. The featured residences demonstrate how architecture can respond thoughtfully to the land, climate, and materials of the region.
From urban settings in Dallas and Austin to rural landscapes across the Hill Country, the homes in this collection reveal how architects have blended modernism with Texas tradition. Influential pioneers like David R. Williams and O’Neil Ford laid the groundwork for this architectural language, which continues today through celebrated firms such as Lake/Flato Architects and the new generation of designers they inspired.
With stunning photography and insightful commentary, this book offers an inspiring look at twenty homes that reflect the enduring relationship between the Texas landscape and the houses built upon it.
