Cornerstone Architects has designed this stunning contemporary home nestled on a private, shady lot in Northwest Hills, a neighborhood of Austin, Texas. This dwelling ideally located next to a beautiful 48-acre park and greenbelt. It sits on a relatively flat lot and assimilates with the surrounding neighborhood which espouses a ranch-style charm.

The design assumes a more horizontal proportion with deep overhangs and opens up to the front and rear south-facing facades with opportunities to capture cross breezes. The floor plan embraces a very open layout as you enter with the owners and guest suite wings flanking each side.

Walls of windows allow abundant natural lighting and custom walnut and mahogany cabinetry throughout the entire home boast warmth and a sense of bringing the outside in. The front and rear outdoor porches celebrate an outdoor living lifestyle capturing prevailing breezes while providing ample shade at the same time.

The exterior facade is clad in native white chopped limestone and a patterned Hardee siding accent that plays on the local vernacular palette. Stained wood is an integral material that is highlighted in the columns, soffits, and floors. The dwelling captures the unique serenity of its natural surroundings with the warmth of a perfectly executed modern design.

ACCOLADES: This project has been awarded “Best Master Bath – Custom Home” by the Home Builders Association MAX Awards 2019.
