lakeside house

Architectural studio “A Parallel Architecture”, described the Lake Austin Residence, “like a butterfly specimen pinned to its mounting”. This lake-front home’s light floating roofs are anchored to its site by heavy rustic limestone, while its horizontal footprint is spread out and sewn through the sycamore, cypress and pecan trees. The resulting form reflects the organic character of its site, and offers a combination of transparency and solidity, incrementally tuned to capitalize on its relationship to the scenic, but recreationally active lake front.

A warm interior palette of oak, mahogany and cedar serve as a soft counterpoint to the glass and stone, exuding a relaxed livability .
