Light Floating Roofs Blend with Heavy Limestone Walls at this Vibrant Austin Home
The Lake Austin Residence is one that you would instantly fall in love with thanks to an exterior and interior that feel cheerful, modern and engaging. Designed by a parallel architecture, this contemporary home on the edge of the lake extends into the beautiful landscape outside with a series of decks and patios. A large and seemingly ?floating? wooden roof extends beyond the walls of the house and gives it a distinctive façade while rusticated limestone walls and glass windows present a picture of contrast. With extensive use of glass the outdoors and the interior feel connected at all times.Deck and swimming pool area of the lavish lakeside Texas homeYou cannot but admire the gorgeous use of different wood types like oak, mahogany and cedar inside the house itself while multiple ceiling variations delineate spaces with ease. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors create a completely open living area and the pool outside along with the river in the distance shape a stunning and vibrant background. You also have a fishing pier and a boat dock that respond to the special needs of the landscape while geothermal energy and passive cooling techniques cut back on power consumption.RELATED: Musket Contemporary in Austin: A Blend of Rustic Beauty and Modern FinesseFabulous views of the lake from the house and its sweeping deckGorgeous roof structure adds charm to the interiorLimestone walls combined with a lovely wooden roof to create a modern homeSeemingly floating woode...
