Inside a mid-century home reimagined with stunning details on Lake Austin

contemporary-home-exterior

A Parallel Architecture in partnership with Allison Burke Interior Design has reimagined this mid-century home overlooking Lake Austin, Texas. Nestled on a sprawling hillside property, this 4,800 square foot dwelling is woven through a series of existing brick walls and foundations to create an entirely new experience of the site.

The original 70s layout was extremely dark and introverted, with 8-foot high ceilings throughout. After an extensive study of the schematic design, the project team collaborated on a more efficient and effective approach to maximize the flow of this dwelling. The structure was transformed into an open and airy home that capitalizes on the incredible site while meeting the lifestyle needs of a vibrant, growing family.

Arranged around a trio of overlapping courtyards, the structureโ€™s main living spaces push and pull to create a wide variety of spatial experiences- solid and void, light and dark, release and compression. Designed in close proximity to the heritage oaks, the dwelling weaves around the sprawling tree canopies.
