Lariat Amenity Center
Liberty Hill, Texas
Located in a growing town north of Austin, Lariat sits at the heart of a new master-planned community, designed to celebrate the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country while fostering a vibrant sense of connection. The neighborhood stretches across rolling terrain near the San Gabriel River and is interlaced with miles of trails, creeks, ponds, and pocket parks—creating seamless links between homes and the surrounding landscape.
The park and amenity spaces are intentionally crafted to blend recreation, nature, and community. A network of walking and biking trails winds through the streets, connecting a series of activity nodes that invite outdoor exploration and spontaneous interaction. Pavilions dotting the parks are constructed from durable, utilitarian materials—wood, concrete, and blackened steel panels—built to withstand the harsh Texas sun. Broad overhangs offer generous shade, while thoughtful orientation allows breezes to move freely through the structures.
At the center of it all, the main amenity hub is anchored by a long pavilion that serves as the gateway to the pool, splash pad, and playground. This active complex overlooks winding paths that bloom with wildflowers in the spring and summer, leading to a fishing pond where a light dock extends into the water—offering a quiet moment within the vibrant landscape. The simple, modern architecture keeps the focus on the natural surroundings and spaces for play. Every element of Lariat’s design reinforces a lifestyle rooted in movement, connection, and a deep appreciation for place.
