Hilltop Craftsman

New Construction | Craftsman | Austin Texas

A desire for warm cozy spaces and a true love of wood inspired this modern interpretation of a craftsman style home.  The house sits high atop a hillside perch, using its orientation to capture prevailing breezes and beautiful sunsets.   Local cedar wood accents and a blend of Texas limestone create an understated home that is both a reflection of its natural environment and a unique expression of the artistry and craftsmanship the owners longed for.

While the scale and proportion of the home address the immediate context of it’s closely huddled cul-de-sac neighborhood, the exterior vernacular blends a style from a different age with more familiar elements of the regional design aesthetic.

Shaker style detailing and an abundance of wood adorn the interior of the home showcasing the natural beauty and simple expression of materials that the owners desired. Work performed while at Cornerstone Architects.
