Soaring Wings was a four year quasi-quixotic effort of Austin, Texas architect, sculptor and musician Winn Wittman. Wittman built the house without clients, believing if he built it, they would come. Come they did, from all parts of Texas and around the world to see this sculptural work of art that harmonizes effortlessly with the rugged Texas Hill Country. The architect has gotten inquiries from students from as far away as Pasadena, and Ber-Zeit University in the West Bank. When the owners first walked into the house, they felt as if they were entering a spiritual place, and sensed that Wittman had poured his soul into the project. “It was just so perfect and so correct”, said owner Contessa McPike.
