Austin City View Residence

Dick Clark Architecture have designed this minimalist contemporary home, a sustainable passive solar design in Austin, Texas.

There are a number of numerous configurable features in the home for entertainment, a spectacular view and a swimming pool.

“Inspired by the clients’ desire to live in a house that reflects their values and lifestyle, this 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. To separate the public entry hall from the private bedroom wing, we did a floating bookcase/art display millwork piece, we used an ecosmart burner as well, it allowed us to create a fireplace mass that doesn’t touch the ceiling which adds non-partition quality of the house.  The siding is cypress, it runs inside and out.”
