Clark Richardson Architects has designed this incredible white brick contemporary home spread out over two levels, located on a corner property in the Tarrytown neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The home is a fusion of traditional aesthetics modernized with contemporary materials and modern architectural concepts, located in Austin, Texas.
The white masonry-clad residence is skillfully integrated into both the network of mature oak trees surrounding the property and the natural grade which falls from the street diagonally through the site. The dwelling was designed with a substantial ground floor primary suite which culminates into a vaulted primary bedroom and bathroom overlooking the backyard.
