Willow House is a twelve casita desert retreat on over 250 acres of private land. With unobstructed views of the Chisos Mountain Range, it is the perfect location to relax and unwind in Far West Texas. Willow House sits on just under 300 acres of raw land. The structures, completed in Spring 2019, are single-story stand-alone casitas. The water source for the entire property is a water well powered by a solar pump. Two heavy-duty reverse osmosis systems filter the well water.  Drilling our own water source was a big moment for the project, as water is scarce in this dry, high-desert region.
The structures were built with three principles in mind: 1) Respect for the natural landscape, 2) Preservation of the Chisos Mountain Range views, 3) Protection from the elements (namely strong winds and sun). The design is sophisticated yet comfortable. They mixed design elements from high desert areas with warm modernism and a hint of inspiration from Georgia O’Keeffe’s unforgettable southwestern style. In all design decisions, they chose to use colors and textures that naturally existed on the land. For rock walls and pathways throughout the property, they used rocks that they sourced and collected from various areas of the property. For the shade structures, they used dead ocotillo branches they found around the property.
In order to build structures that stand the test of time, they have used high-quality materials that are durable in a climate that can be dramatic. The space is well suited for entire group events as well- serving as a serene setting for a wedding, milestone birthday, or company retreat. Willow House is the perfect combination of remoteness and accessibility, community and privacy, sophisticated interiors and comfort.
