IMPROVEMENTS.
Quirky cool. Architecture that speaks modern ranch. Nestled in the picturesque town of Medina, Texas, The Goat Sheds stand as a testament to modern architectural ingenuity and design. Created by the visionary, Ignacio Salas-Humara, this stunning home was awarded winner of the prestigious Cran Award for Modern Home Design in 2022 and has become a beacon of style and luxury in the heart of the Lone Star State.
Honored in the San Antonio Express News and as well on isharchitect and dwell, the Goat Sheds has a unique and crafty story behind it. Told by architect, Ignacio Salas-Humara, he explains that the home was based on the previous owners true love story.
Long story short...the previous owners future husband worked on the family ranch which was transitioning from a goat to a cattle ranch at the time. Taking an obvious notice to the ranchers daughter, her father put this young man to the test to determine whether he was a hard worker and worthy of her hand in marriage. The task...dismantling all of the old goat sheds that were scattered over hundreds of acres. Through his proven dedication, the young man completed the task and was approved of his worthiness. The couple went on to be married and eventually built their dream home at the base of the hill where she would spend her childhood summers camping out underneath the same oak trees that were integrated into the house design.
