The Texas Hill Country: Designing Barndominiums to Embrace the Natural Beauty of the Region

Written By Jason Mitchell

The Texas Hill Country is a unique and stunning region that is known for its rolling hills, wildflowers, and scenic landscapes. For many homeowners in the area, building a barndominium is a way to embrace the natural beauty of the region while also creating a functional and stylish living space. Here are some tips for designing barndominiums that complement the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

One of the best ways to embrace the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country is by incorporating natural materials into your barndominium design. This can include using stone or wood accents on the exterior of the home, as well as incorporating natural materials like wood or stone into the interior design. Not only do these materials complement the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, but they also provide a warm and inviting atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.

When designing a barndominium in the Texas Hill Country, it's important to take advantage of the stunning views that are available. Whether you're overlooking a scenic valley or surrounded by rolling hills, incorporating large windows or a wrap-around porch can provide breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, positioning the home so that it takes advantage of the natural light and views can create a more open and inviting atmosphere inside.

Another way to embrace the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country is by incorporating rustic design elements into your barndominium. Rustic design is a natural fit for this region, and can include elements like exposed beams, distressed wood finishes, or wrought iron accents. These design elements can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the natural surroundings.

Outdoor living spaces are also an important consideration when designing a barndominium in the Texas Hill Country. With the beautiful landscape as your backdrop, incorporating a large deck or patio, fire pit, or even an outdoor kitchen can create an inviting and relaxing space that allows you to fully enjoy the natural surroundings.

Water conservation is another important consideration when designing a barndominium in the Texas Hill Country. This region is known for its hot and dry climate, so incorporating drought-resistant landscaping or rainwater collection systems can help conserve water while still maintaining a beautiful and inviting outdoor space.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
