Inspired by the clients’ desire to live in a house that reflects their values and lifestyle, the house takes an architecturally minimal approach with simple massing, an understated material palette, and large expanses of glass. Configured for entertainment, the glass box living area, along with large sliding doors from the dining and pool room invite guests outside onto the pool deck to take in the spectacular view of the Austin skyline.
The plan is very open; there are visual connections between living/dining/kitchen. A see through oak screen separates the stair from the kitchen. A floating bookcase/art display millwork piece separates the public entry hall from the private bedroom wing. The use of an ecosmart burner allowed for a fireplace mass that doesn’t touch the ceiling which adds to the non-partition quality of the house.
