Trachter Residence

Trachter Residence Overview

The Trachter Residence is a 5,500 sq. ft., three-story custom home built on a steep hillside in the Crazy Cat subdivision of the Franklin Mountains. Designed in a modern style, the home maximizes its unique location.

Features and Amenities

The residence features four bedrooms, a master suite, dining and living areas, a family room, and two game rooms. A central architectural element is the three-story custom spiral staircase. The home also includes a steam room for relaxation. Every room offers stunning views of the city and the surrounding mountains, integrating the built environment with the natural landscape.

Custom Home Design

A residential project designed specifically for a client's unique needs, site conditions, and aesthetic preferences. Unlike speculative or tract housing, every aspect of a custom home—from layout to materials—is tailored to the individual homeowner.

Modern Architectural Style

An architectural style emphasizing clean lines, open floor plans, large windows, and a lack of ornamentation. Modern design often focuses on function, simplicity, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, making it ideal for scenic locations.

Custom Spiral Staircase

A specialized vertical circulation element that winds around a central axis. In the Trachter Residence, this three-story staircase serves as both a functional connector between levels and a dramatic sculptural centerpiece within the home's interior.
