This incredible modern hillside home was designed by A Parallel Architecture situated in Rollingwood, a vibrant community in the heart of Travis County, Texas. Conceived as an X-shaped floor plan situated on the edge of a hill, two wings of this house sit firmly on the ground, anchored by heavy Roman-brick masses serving a secondary program.

The other two wings take flight off the hillside, affording tree-house-like views from primary living spaces, and creating usable outdoor living spaces below. Continue below to see the rest of this fascinating home…
