THIS ELEVATED RETREAT, SITED DIRECTLY ON COVETED LAKE AUSTIN, WAS
ONCE A “TEXAS TUSCAN,” POPULAR IN THE AREA BUT LONG SINCE OUTDATED.
THE DESIGN TEAM TRANSFORMED THE PROPERTY BY EDITING THE LAYOUT OF THE
HOME, OPENING THE SPACE TO FACE THE WATER AND ADDING WARM FURNISHINGS
AND FINISHES IN THE STYLE OF ORGANIC MODERNISM. THE NEW KITCHEN
RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL ISLAND THAT IS MORE CONDUCIVE TO ENTERTAINING
AND LARGE GATHERINGS. TEXAS LIMESTONE AND TEXAS CYPRESS USHER THE
INTERIOR TO THE EXTERIOR AND BLEND SEAMLESSLY WITH THE NATURAL
SURROUNDINGS. DOORS, MILLWORK AND CABINET HARDWARE WERE ALL CUSTOM AND
SITE SPECIFIC. THE BRILLIANT REPOSITIONING OF THE OFFICE AS A FLOATING
GLASS BOX PERCHED ATOP THE STAIRWELL MAKE THIS DESIGN TRULY
SPECIAL.
