A Renovated Family Home in Austin Floats in a Sea of Trees

Sometimes it helps to have a history. To renovate an outdated home in Austin, Texas, one of the owners, Sarah Mitchell, called upon long-time family friend and architect Arthur Furman. "We went to high school together, and our families have had an architectural connection since the 1990s," says Furman, who goes on to mention that his dad designed Sarah’s aunt and uncle’s home on Lake Austin, as well as an addition to the main building on their family’s nature conservancy in East Texas.
