Energy-Efficient Home in Austin: Barton Hills Residence

Barton Hills Residence-A Parallel Architecture-01-1 Kindesign

Barton Hills Residence is a sensational contemporary property designed by A Parallel Architecture, nestled into a hilltop in Barton Hills, South Austin, Texas. This 2,700 square foot new-construction home boasts panoramic views of downtown and the surrounding valley. A half-sunken concrete garage creates a plinth for the wood and glass home to perch above, maintaining a scale and character consistent with the mid-century-modern neighborhood.

An open-plan living space enjoys the distant views as well as private courtyard views to the rear, reinforcing the indoor/outdoor character that the clients’ lifestyle demands.

I am in love with this design! My father was a Mod Architect (Chaz Williams) and it reminds me of him.
