Architect Burton Baldridge’s design for a house in Austin features a cantilevered upper volume with a gabled profile that was in part inspired by the work of Dutch architects MVRDV. It juts out over the patio, outfitted with chaise longues by Harbour Outdoor and Adirondack chairs by Loll.
The exterior defers to the local vernacular and landscape. The roof is made of exposed wood and handmade clay shingles. Structural walls from an earlier construction project were discovered onsite and form the basis for the stone barrier and stairs that hug the hillside. The architects took care not to disturb local shrubs and vegetation.
The fountains installed in the pool contribute to the sound of the nearby ocean and the sense of being in nature.
The entire house is clad in a grey wood facade.
