This spectacular contemporary house was created by Cornerstone Architects for a couple who enjoy entertaining and were looking to maximize their property in beautiful Austin, Texas. The views, topography, and trees all lead to a terraced design nestled into the landscape. The main living space opens to an outdoor living space, which can then be converted into a screened-in porch.

The flexibility in the space allows for casual or elegant entertaining for the homeowners, while seamlessly blending the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Continue below to see the rest of this incredible home…

An open air flow using drop-down concealed screens allows a very spacious and practical outdoor living area to be instantly transformed to a fully screened in porch, while still providing privacy from the street. The general flow and openness throughout the home is enhanced by the deliberate placement of windowscapes within the travel patterns of the home.

Inspired by the homeowners’ extensive travels and work overseas, the home’s design incorporates Asian influences and spacial development. The end result of this architect/client collaboration is an extremely functional, modern design which is embraced by the site and provides the clients a forum for entertaining as well as an intimate place to call home.
