DANZE & DAVIS // STEINER RANCH

Project

o  Steiner Ranch
o  Completed
o  10,093 Square Foot
o  Danze & Davis
o  Energy Star + EPA Indoor AirPLUS Certified

This 10,093 sq. ft. Austin, Texas project exemplifies sustainable luxury through its innovative and integrated design. Boasting a remarkable HERS rating of negative 30 and EPA Indoor airPLUS certification, the home merges elegance with energy efficiency, proving that sustainability enhances, rather than limits, aesthetic beauty. The residence reflects a commitment to environmental stewardship while delivering the highest levels of craftsmanship and comfort.

At the heart of the property is a meticulously engineered 30,000-gallon rainwater harvesting system, capable of capturing up to 6,000 gallons of water per inch of rainfall from the main residence. This system supports irrigation, potable use, and lush gardens on the expansive 11-acre property. Solar energy is seamlessly integrated through ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) panels, designed to power the home while minimizing its carbon footprint. To ensure resilience, the home features multiple water sources, including a well and city water access, alongside a Generac generator for backup power.

The interior spaces further elevate sustainable living. Through oversized metal and glass doors, natural light pours into the main home, accentuating panoramic views of the Texas Hill Country. The living room’s 25-ft ceilings, dark-stained beams, raked plaster fireplace, and custom cabinetry demonstrate masterful craftsmanship. In the kitchen, flush-mounted outlets blend into a stone backsplash, complementing a sculpted plaster vent hood and a curated mix of white oak and walnut cabinetry. The mudroom features a rainwater-fed water bottle filler, underscoring the family’s eco-conscious lifestyle. Outdoors, native gardens and a poolside cabana—complete with a full kitchen, pizza oven, and yoga deck—offer a harmonious connection to nature, balancing luxury with environmental mindfulness.
