The Hether Residence was designed by Clark Richardson Architect as a family sanctuary in the urban core of South Central Austin, Texas.  Designed for a couple that likes to entertain and have two young children this home separates the private and public spaces by level. 

The ground floor features an open plan that opens to a screen porch, pool, and private yard, while upstairs the family can retreat in the evening to a cozy family zone with a second living room, all the bedrooms, and a private office. Continue below to see the rest of this amazing home…

The architectural design is simple, to scale with the neighborhood with terraced massing giving the impression from the street of a much smaller home. “We designed the interiors with an eye to the family’s lifestyle, it features playful color and functional built-ins making full use of all the square footage of this urban home, ” states the architect.

What We Love: This Texas house was beautifully designed as a family sanctuary for everyday living and entertaining. We are loving the overall design of this home from the sleek kitchen to the living room with its sliding glass doors leading out to the backyard patio with a swimmng pool, providing the ultimate in entertaining.
