Valley Dale Residence

A Modern Take on Warmth and Transparency

A Mountain Retreat Defined by Craft

Set among towering evergreens, the Rustic Pines Retreat is a home designed to embrace its natural surroundings while providing timeless comfort and modern functionality. With contributions from Heslin Construction, Sandbox Studio, Moxie Interior Design, and Kat Alves Photography, the residence is a masterclass in craftsmanship and collaboration—where every detail reflects both the landscape and the lifestyle it inspires.

A Residence Defined by Light and Connection

Set within the natural beauty of Texas, the Valley Dale Residence is a Timber Curtain Wall project that embraces expansive glass, warm Douglas fir beams, and carefully crafted details to blur the boundary between indoors and out. Designed by François Lévy Architecture + Interiors and built by Risher Martin Fine Homes, the residence highlights the harmony of architecture and environment. Interior design by François Lévy Architecture + Interiors and photography by Tobin Davies capture a home where windows and doors become an integral part of both form and function.

Living in Balance with Nature

Through thoughtful use of glass walls, outswing doors, and warm interior finishes, the Valley Dale Residence creates harmony between contemporary living and its wooded Texas setting.
