Knoll House Tuscan Villa

New Construction | Lake Austin | Austin Texas | 7190 sf

Referencing Tuscan villages and old world charm, this Tuscan Villa feels like a place that is not bound by time.  Like the structures built so long ago this residence adorns itself in materials that are both natural and regional.  Loosely organized symmetries and occasional understated arches keep this formidable home casual and approachable. Each building mass is carefully articulated and placed delicately between the many trees.  Lush exterior courtyards envelop and root guests to the site. Rich stone patterns and mortared clay tile roofs establish compelling exterior details that cleverly capture the dappled light. A hidden grotto element burrows under the building giving life to a more intimate space in a larger lap pool.

Inside, the owner’s desire for a home with modern accouterments but a timeless character spawned a spirited play of soothing colors and textures juxtaposed against hard surfaces and generally clean lines.  The home is both old and new. Substantial and relaxed. While it boasts a significant amount of technology, a passer by might hardly notice. Luxurious comforts such as the indoor / outdoor shower, 2-story closet, play loft, and recording studio are tucked away among a collection of spaces that are simple, inviting, and cozy.
