Cornerstone Architects designed this contemporary home for a couple who have a love of entertaining and wished to take full advantage of their property in Austin, Texas. The views, topography, and trees all lead to a terraced design nestled into the landscape. The main living space opens to an outdoor living space, which has the ability to then convert into a screened-in porch. The flexibility in the space allows for casual or elegant entertaining for the homeowners, while seamlessly blending the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
An open air flow using drop-down concealed screens allows a very spacious and practical outdoor living area to be instantly transformed to a fully screened in porch, while still providing privacy from the street. The general flow and openness throughout the home is enhanced by the deliberate placement of windowscapes within the travel patterns of the home.
Inspired by the homeowners’ extensive travels and work overseas, the home’s design incorporates Asian influences and spacial development. The end result of this architect/client collaboration is an extremely functional, modern design which is embraced by the site and provides the clients a forum for entertaining as well as an intimate place to call home.
What We Love: This fabulous contemporary home features a striking stone facade that harmoniously flows into the interiors. A fantastic indoor-outdoor connection throughout this home helps to create a great flow for entertaining and invites nature inside. An open concept living, dining and kitchen area features clean lines and a welcoming aesthetic, serving well for the homeowners needs for an entertaining lifestyle… Readers, what details in this home stands out to you?
