Ring, a successful software developer and investor, took the home, which was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, and let the natural elements of its almost 21/2 acres shine. Water flows underneath the home through a pond system. Rock walls, bamboo floors and grass cloth wallpaper reflect on the nature that is outside, as seen through the many large windows. Ring added multiple layers of landscaping from the wildflower garden in the front to the vegetable and herb gardens in the back. The ponds, anchored by limestone rocks made to look like the ledges of Barton Springs, flow naturally from the highest point in the backyard to the lower points of the front yard. Most of the landscaping is drought resistant if not native.
