In this episode of the Timeless Texas Spaces Podcast, we’re diving into that German influence and uncovering what it really means to have a Hill Country-style home in our modern-day lifestyle. We talk about everything from Fachwerk structures down to the importance of picking the right style of windows and the layout of your home that ensures an authentic German-style house. It’s more than just a surface-level styling. It’s deeply embedded down to the size and arrangement of the rooms, buildings, and more.
