Hillside Traditional
Defined by timeless design, gracious yet understated
Designed and built on a two-and-a-half-acre site in West Austin, this home was positioned along the width of the property to take full advantage of its extensive downtown views, as well as to minimize the complexity of the foundation.
Inspired by our clients’ desire for a home defined by timeless design, we created a residence that is gracious yet understated. Attention was paid to the scale and massing of its 8,500 square feet. From the street, a single-story volume speaks softly--low, intimate, and comfortable within the landscape. An arched stone portal of hand-chiseled limestone defines the entry with a warm, human scale. Beyond - the quiet, classic design continues.
Natural light fills the sophisticated, yet subdued interiors, and illuminates a neutral material palette. The character of each material is celebrated through simple, elegant detailing.
