The Story Behind
Steel-Framed Estate Where Two Creeks Converge in Preston Hollow
This extraordinary 2018 custom estate represents a masterwork of engineering and design, anchored by a steel frame structure and over 130 piers driven deep into Austin chalk. Positioned on 1.44 acres where two natural creeks wind through the landscape, the residence showcases Syrian limestone facades, soaring 25-foot ceilings, and a sculptural Australian glass staircase, creating an architectural legacy built for permanence.
10617 Bridge Hollow Court stands as a testament to uncompromising craftsmanship and engineering excellence. The 2018 custom construction represents a half-million-dollar investment in structural integrity, with the entire residence framed in steel—a decision that ensures generational stability while allowing for the dramatic architectural gestures that define this masterpiece.
The foundation itself is a feat of engineering, with over 130 piers driven deep into the Austin chalk bedrock, creating an unshakeable base for the soaring volumes above. The exterior envelope speaks to permanence: Syrian limestone cladding and a slate roof designed to endure for a century, while integrated steel gutters and drainage systems reveal an obsession with precision and longevity.
Upon entering through the 20-foot African mahogany door, the home reveals its true character through a choreographed play of light and volume. The entry soars to 25 feet, while the living spaces maintain 17-foot ceilings, all framed by expansive windows that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior. Hand-carved fireplaces anchor intimate gathering spaces, while the sculptural kitchen becomes a work of art in quartzite, onyx, and brass, supported by a dedicated scullery for seamless entertaining.
The Australian glass staircase serves as the home's sculptural centerpiece, flowing like water through the core while connecting the public and private realms. Upstairs, four guest suites each feature private baths and capture treetop and water views through carefully positioned windows. The integrated Control4 system unites lighting, sound, and security in seamless harmony.
The owner's suite occupies the entire first floor's private wing, featuring heated marble floors, automated window treatments, and a dedicated massage and exercise room that opens to serene backyard vistas. A sophisticated library with custom built-ins and an integrated aquarium adds intellectual gravitas to the main level.
Below grade, a climate-controlled wine cellar provides abundant storage for serious collectors. Every detail, from the bespoke chandeliers to the refined proportions of each room, speaks to a design philosophy that values substance, beauty, and permanence in equal measure. This is architecture as legacy—a residence conceived and executed for those who understand that true luxury lies in enduring quality and thoughtful design.
