### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Bruce Tingle, Oct. 2024**

> Wow.  We purchased an old Feed Store & seed processing plant, built in the 1930's.   Highlights of this structure include a seed/grain silo, with intact grain conveyor belt rising 35 feet to the roof, an industrial seed/grain scale (still functional), and a beautiful array of long leaf pine rafters .  Ignacio was the first person we thought of when we envisioned a conversion of this structure to a residential loft- we were familiar with his work from publications/awards, and from several of his projects that we had been fortunate to tour.   From his first, initial rough sketch, he had us hooked.  It's hard to adequately summarize Ignacio's superb performance on our project in limited text space, but his creativity and design solutions, and attention to custom detail were well beyond that we could have hoped for.  In addition, Ignacio was a real pleasure to work with - he treated our "design" suggestions with respect & attention and we always felt comfortable discussing plan options, or changes.  (I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that we had a very talented builder whose knowledge, oversight, and commitment to excellence was off the charts).  There are many measures of  a custom project's success - quality, functionality, value, all of which I'm very proud of.  However, maybe the best indicator of a project's design success is the "wow" we feel when we open the front door to our completed industrial loft.  Thanks Ignacio.

**★★★★★ — Lorri Savoie, March 2023**

> Ignacio has been a joy to work with, he is truly  artist. Mine is a small house, full of beautiful detail from the lovely butterfuly roof that includes a cricket to divert the majority of rainfall to a water catchment tank,  the clerestory windows around the entire house to the unique wall finish and use of reglets.
> Ignacio is often at the build site, working with the contractor, the subcontractors and their teams
> Thank you Ignacio!
> Lorri Savoie

**★★★★★ — Koviak Built, Oct. 2021**

> Ignacio has partnered with us for over 3 years, and each project is unique, masterfully designed, professionally delivered and more beautiful than the last. His expertise and eye for details is unprecedented among our architectural contacts, we cannot recommend him highly enough!

**★★★★★ — Diana Walters, March 2021**

> Ignacio is a masterful architect with years of extremely valuable experience.  He strikes a wonderful balance between his talent for simplicity and appropriate work alongside the wants and direction of the client.  He is equally as talented working on a large home as he is a cabin, driveway, carport or a pagoda.  And he addresses them all with equal importance.  He asks a lot from his builders as he should, given the bespoke nature of his work.  He has a keen attention to detail and often makes important adjustments to make a project "correct" but doesn't feel the need for a pat on the back or recognition.  His reward is in making a project perfect,--right sized with proportion and beautiful for the client.  He also will turn down a project if he doesn't feel that it is right for him or if he doesn't have the time to commit.  He absolutely loves his profession and seeks new challenges in  his field.  His DNA makes sure that all the  "lines" fit and their scope is right.

**★★★★★ — wreiner41, June 2020**

> Ignacio is not only a brilliant architect, but a wonderful human. We began working with him on designing our vacation/future retirement home several years ago and, in addition to his obvious creative genius and architectural talents, have truly appreciated his warmth and friendliness throughout our relationship. Ignacio's honesty, integrity, and clear passion for his work set him apart from others in the industry who prioritize their own bottom line. He is adept at handling the inevitable problems that will arise in any construction project and is able to navigate these issues gracefully and without losing the overall project vision.  From the selection of our build site (which somehow maintains a slight breeze even on the hottest of days!) to the final finishing touches, Ignacio's thoughtfulness and attention to detail result in a tailored home that perfectly suits our needs.

**★★★★★ — Francisco Matta Lopez, Feb. 2020**

> In a few words one can describe a genuine home experience as a place of rest and relaxation.  This is the case as I visit with Ignacio Salas-Humara, Architect, for renewed inspiration of a classic home experience. Classic lines and proportions make up the Goliad Weekend House with that certain kind of light filled space that invites & cradles you in to your most comfortable chaise lounge. With a liberating view from within through the wraparound porch toward the land the spirit of place resides here. This comes at no surprise in the case of  Ignacio Salas-Humara who as a skilled architect has time and again captured the essence of form and place.
>
> He meets the challenge of budget with skilled project management, a keen eye on design while honoring tradition. His works are well thought architecture with a composition of material in timeless results. Ignacios unrelenting focus on craft consists of a key ingredient: Experience. This honesty in form and function is experienced throughout his projects. The design quality is seen as a testament of happy clients and honest architecture. As a fellow designer I have always admired the genuine in his craft. Equally genuine is his respectful approach to clients building program and budget. His approach is that of respect to clients underlying building needs while enjoying the process over conversations with coffee & tea on the porch. This discovery and exchange of ideas is key to a successful project.  No stranger to a clients programmatic challenges the creative flow is present throughout in responding to climate, culture, context and craft. This clarity in design, budget and program enriches the clients experience from idea through living enjoyment.
>
> Over the years Ignacio has lent an ear and collaborated on design projects always prepared with his genuine passion leading the way. He is a gentleman Architect and life friend who Inspires.

**★★★★★ — cswope640@gmail.com Swope, Feb. 2020**

> Ignacio is a creative, innovative talented, and just a super person to work with. Ignacio makes time for his clients and schedules meetings to meet their needs.

**★★★★★ — PJFish, Sept. 2017**

> It has been an immense pleasure having Ignacio design our home. His creativity with our design needs is beyond what I could have imagined. Ignacio designed a solution that will work perfectly. His creativity is inspiring and we are excited to begin the construction phase on the Sendera house.

**★★★★★ — Allysen Cooksey, Sept. 2017**

> When we decided to build our "Dream Home" on our property in the Texas Hill Country we learned very quickly that Ignacio was the right choice.  From the very beginning you immediately sense a level of professionalism and commitment to his projects that is very rare.  Ignacio believes in truly collaborating with his clients while at the same time introducing you to styles, concepts and visions you might not have known about.  We are very lucky to have Ignacio joining us on this project and designing us a spectacular house that will accompany the views of the Texas Hill Country.  He is accessible, easy to work with, always goes above an beyond.  Ignacio lets his work speak for itself.

**★★★★★ — George Newsome, April 2017**

> Bought an old lake cottage that had been added onto a few times and hired Ignacio to plan the remodel.  We're updating and adding an additional 400 square feet.  We're very pleased with the plans that Ignacio came up with and he has been a pleasure to work with as we make the inevitable minor changes as we go along.  Highly recommend Mr. Salas-Humara.

**★★★★★ — gerbertracy76, Nov. 2015**

> We worked with Ignacio Salas-Humara almost 9 yrs ago as a consultant when we were adding to our home built in 1856. We wanted to update our home and keep the integrity. Ignacio's sensitivity and guidance with my husband and I was tremendously successful. Recently, we decided to sell our home and bought a beautiful hill country property with a very steep slope to build on. We called on Ignacio's brilliance and he designed the perfect plan for this particularly difficult piece of land that perfectly fit all our expectations and more.

**★★★★★ — User, Oct. 2015**

> When looking for an architect to revamp our drab midcentury modern home we were drawn to Ignacio because of the versatility of his designs. Now having worked with Ignacio I understand that versatility to be a result of both his creativity and his communication.  Ignacio listens and distills the essence of a project. He perceives the “soul" of what one wants to achieve and then “fleshes” that out with satisfying style, in such a way that one says in response, “that’s exactly what I love but I would never have come up with that one my own!"

- [Feed Mill Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/feed-mill-townhouse-pj-vj~7528874)
  - Location: Comfort, TX
  - Photos: 34
  - Description: The project is an adaptive reuse of a historic small-town feed mill that once provided agricultural animal feeds and seeds for the local farming community. Built in the 1930s, it still contains the original vertical conveyor belt, a deeply recessed concrete pit, a small mezzanine, and a floor scale for weighing carts of feed. The exposed roof structure is a fascinating spiderwork of exposed hand-made lumber trusses. There are two large openings with overhead doors as well as ten small windows at…
- [The Goat Sheds](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-goat-sheds-pj-vj~369208)
  - Location: Medina, TX
  - Photos: 40
  - Description: The Goat Sheds is a family ranch compound located at the base of a wooded hillside with long views down two valleys to the South and East. The house serves as a gallery to display the wife's large collection of American Indian artifacts as well as the husband's extensive collection of model trains. Each of the main functions -- living, sleeping, working, train room, garage -- are designed as individual, clerestoried sheds that are dispersed among the existing trees in such a way that no trees we…
- [Generational Farmstead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/generational-farmstead-pj-vj~373289)
  - Location: Texas Hill Country, TX
  - Photos: 20
  - Description: The site for the house, a 500-acre ranch, is located in the Texas Hill Country, an area settled in the mid-1800s by German immigrants, who used the local limestone and long leaf pine and cypress to build their structures. The clients asked for a new house that, when finished, would look like it had been there for 150 years. We researched historic German farms and homes in the area for authentic house and farm types, materials, and details. The program for the house was large and complex, so we d…
- [The Outpost](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-outpost-pj-vj~6029879)
  - Location: Fredericksburg, TX
  - Photos: 41
  - Description: New house under construction on 25 acres south of Fredericksburg, Texas. Nestled into the edge of a grove of live oaks, the house is a compound of three buildings, each housing the main functions: living/cooking/eating, sleeping, and support (laundry, mechanical, gym, and garage). The owner's office is in a tower above the support building, with a lookout deck on top of the tower. A cloistered courtyard ties the buildings together and also ties the compound to its natural surrounding -- the grov…
- [Longer Than A Weekend House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/longer-than-a-weekend-house-pj-vj~6946609)
  - Location: Goliad, TX
  - Photos: 38
  - Description: The seed for this family compound was the Goliad Weekend House that I designed for dear friends Bonnie and L.J. years ago. The family had grown over the years, grand kids arrived, and the family needed more space for themselves and for frequent guests. The new addition consisted of a fully outfitted kitchen, pantry, and a new master bedroom suite. In the existing house the former master bedroom became a family room, and the original tiny kitchen became a foyer. The new additions turn what was on…
- [The Overlook Guest Lodge (Under Construction)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-overlook-guest-lodge-under-construction-pj-vj~6727593)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 20
  - Description: Guest lodge on a large ranch in central Texas. The Lodge sits on the edge of a steep bluff overlooking a bend in the San Saba River, with the river valley stretching out to the horizon. The design of, and materials used for, the Lodge is a blend of historic Texas Hill Country structures and historic National Park lodge architecture. Construction is currently underway.
- [Viewfinder (Project)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/viewfinder-project-pj-vj~2950280)
  - Location: Marfa, TX
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: A new weekend getaway on large ranch in Brewster County, Texas. The ranch is largely flat desert terrain with the Chisos Mountains in the distance. The concept has four components: a large, flat roof to provide shade; rammed earth piers to anchor the building to the desert site; glass walls to visually allow the desert floor to pass through the structure, and a solid, rammed-earth “core” that contains the service spaces and serves as a visual counterpoint to the glass box.
- [River House (Unbuilt)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-house-unbuilt-pj-vj~5991637)
  - Location: Boerne, TX
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: A new house on the banks of the Guadalupe River north of Boerne Texas. The site slopes down to the river from the street in a series of rock ledges, with the house on the last ledge whose edge drops forty feet to the bank of the river. The guest house sits on the ledge higher up from the house and connects to the second floor of the house at the two story living room. The same bridge runs through the house and out the other side, ending in a viewing platform that is cantilevered past the edge of…
- [Silos House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silos-house-pj-vj~6622653)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 27
  - Description: The house is located in an area of the high Texas Hill Country called Mountain Home, settled by large ranches, like the historic YO Ranch, and small farms. I've always been fascinated by the local agrarian structures -- cotton gins, barns, feed mills, grain elevators, and silos. The context of farming and ranching lead us to explore the vocabulary of this local vernacular architecture -- abstract silo shapes, corrugated steel roofs and siding, steel pipe and wire, agrarian light fixtures, barn v…
- [Pivot Pad](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pivot-pad-pj-vj~42345)
  - Location: Boerne, TX
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: New 1000sf house with very tight budget. The client wanted to "live small" and leave a small carbon footprint. She had researched prefab houses, but found they were beyond her budget. In the end we found it was less expensive to design & build a similar house on site. The project is a composition of elements that are tied together by a strong circulation axis--the boardwalk--that organizes guest parking at one end, takes the visitor through the carport, across a Zen courtyard and to the front do…
- [Butterfly House (Project)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/butterfly-house-project-pj-vj~2980466)
  - Location: Pipe Creek, TX
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: Clients wanted a simple, compact house with big views. The site is a 20-acre parcel of rural land outside Bandera, Texas, with long views to the southeast.
- [Guest House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-house-pj-vj~6628238)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 30
  - Description: Small guest house set into a wooded hilltop. Exterior materials and colors were designed to blend with the existing trees and native grasses found on the site. The house is featured in the book Architects of the Southwest, by Francesc Mola.
- [Cielito Lindo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cielito-lindo-pj-vj~32193)
  - Location: Boerne, TX
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: Modern villa set in the rolling Texas Hill Country. The client, an artist of Mexican descent, asked for a modern interpretation of a Mexican hacienda. She and her doctor husband have a sensational collection of Mexican religious art and artifacts. The hacienda itself is a piece of colorful sculpture in which to house the collection. The home was featured in the HGTV series Homes Across America.
- [Three Barns Farm (Project)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/three-barns-farm-project-pj-vj~1570589)
  - Location: Leakey, TX
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: We are currently designing a country house for a family of four on a 200-acre farm in the Texas Hill Country. The main house functions -- children's sleeping area, parent's sleeping area, and communal eating/living area --- are divided into separate "barn" buildings that are connected by subsidiary spaces -- an entry hall and a study/library. Set in a meadow, the compound of buildings creates an intimate courtyard space for family gatherings that is sheltered from the occasional wind channeled b…
- [Goliad Weekend House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/goliad-weekend-house-pj-vj~494172)
  - Location: Goliad, TX
  - Photos: 33
  - Description: I designed this weekend house for our friends in Corpus Christi. In the early seventies, Bonnie and L.J. bought 116 acres of rolling hills blanketed with live oak and juniper outside of historic Goliad, Texas. With a group of friends they constructed a quaint but rough little two room cabin to get away on weekends. We used to stay with them and their young daughter Blair, and it was fun to rough it. As the couple got older, they didn't want to rough it any more. They wanted something a little mo…
- [Rocking P Ranch House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rocking-p-ranch-house-pj-vj~384076)
  - Location: Wilson County, near Floresville, TX
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: Long-time San Antonio residents, the clients bought 75 acres of farmland south of the city. Their intention was to raise their sons in a rural environment and live the country life, with horses, cows, and goats. For the new house they stipulated only two things: traditional forms and zero-maintenance exterior. We took inspiration from local farm and ranch buildings for the forms and used corrugated Galvalume steel for the maintenance-free siding. Windows are clear aluminum to match the siding. W…
- ["Fish Camp" Family Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fish-camp-family-retreat-pj-vj~385583)
  - Location: Fredericksburg, TX
  - Photos: 31
  - Description: "Fish Camp" is an affectionate name for a rustic, camp style family retreat where three generations come together and enjoy the outdoors and each other. The site is 35 acres of oaks and juniper outside of Fredericksburg, Texas. The site was left completely wild, with only a gravel road disturbing the natural setting. We built the house in a small, linear clearing among some oak trees and dug a small lake nearby for swimming, fishing, and canoeing. The compound is composed of three buildings: the…
- [Comfort Castle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/comfort-castle-pj-vj~494673)
  - Location: Comfort, TX
  - Photos: 28
  - Description: The idea for this house came to me in a dream. I live nearby, so I visited the hilly, wooded site many times at various times of the day, and walked it often before sketching anything. One night I had a dream of a castle, a ruin on a hill, where only the watch tower remained. I set that tower on our site, and I created an imaginary, romantic history for the house. I described it to my clients over dinner, and they were intrigued by the idea. The story goes like this: while they were exploring th…
- [Bliss House (Project)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bliss-house-project-pj-vj~2444370)
  - Location: Kerrville, TX
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: This new house will be nestled into ten acres of wooded valley in a rural neighborhood outside of Kerrville, Texas. The clients are interested in Asian architecture and gardens. The conceptual design of the house is Asian-inspired with strong horizontals, an inward-facing courtyard, moving doors that open the house to the landscape, and a veranda (engawa) under the wide roof overhangs that provide a natural transition between the rooms within and nature without. Every room in the house opens to…
- [Trailer House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/trailer-house-remodel-pj-vj~372391)
  - Location: Beeville, TX
  - Photos: 27
  - Description: This was a fun and unusual project I did for a friend. An old house trailer on a family ranch in Beeville, Texas was used for decades as an inexpensive weekend getaway. The owners recently retired, sold their house in Corpus Christi, and were moving full time to the ranch. They wanted to invest the money from the sale of the house for their retirement instead of using it to build a new house on the ranch, so they decided to live full-time in the existing trailer house. There were only two proble…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Fan** *(in Photo Questions)*

Exhaust Louver?  Is there another that is bringing airflow in?

A: You are correct

**Q: Do you have an overview of this house ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I wanted to see a birds eye view of the layout and how the trees are incorporated. Also how many bedrooms? Was the interior kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms remodeled as well? I love the simplicity of the materials used on the exterior.

A: I wish you all the best

**Q: Love This** *(in Photo Questions)*

I just wanted to say this is an absolutely beautiful remodel.

A: Thank you so much for reaching out, I appreciate it.

**Q: Absolute perfection** *(in Photo Questions)*

We found Hog Wild Railing  panels in a 4"x4" grid pattern thanks to you.  I was looking for a modern and less expensive alternative to cable railing.  It is powder coated and comes in two colors, 1) Black and 2 Natural.  Which color do you believe will 'go away' the best?

Many thanks for your experienced opinion.  

Love your work!

A: Thanks for the kind words.  Black is pretty much invisible.

**Q: Can you please tell me the name of the stone used in this look?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the over-mortar (German smear) look. What stone best achieves this?

A: We used local limestone, same as the Germans of the area.

**Q: What kind of trees are those?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi, thanks for your question.  Those are live oaks.
