Cuppett Kilpatrick Architecture + Interior Design has created this modern residence perched atop a hillside boasting sweeping skyline views over Austin, Texas. Spread out over three levels, this dwelling is anchored at the top of its site by a grove of twisted live oaks and steps down the hill away from the street to conceal its full height, making it scale-appropriate for the Rollingwood neighborhood.

The program layout features a garage and service areas beneath the main floor of public living spaces and an owner’s bedroom suite. The third level houses the children’s bedroom suites and a playroom. An expansive deck and screened porch open directly from the kitchen/dining room to a deck-level plunge pool along with a play yard below.

What We Love: This gorgeous home balances natural light perfectly throughout its interiors. Set peacefully into a hillside, the dwelling takes advantage of its site by maximizing views of the Austin skyline. We love the majestic live oaks on this property, adding to the overall curb appeal of the exterior facade. Overall, a truly remarkable home, where thoughtful design details help to create a haven that celebrates modern living and the beauty of its natural surroundings.
