This project is a remodel-addition of a mid-century home in Austin’s Barton Hills neighborhood. The original layout was retained and augmented with a split-level addition to the North, made possible by a dramatically sloping site. A front wing contains two bedrooms and a full bath backed by an open kitchen, dining, and living space. A lofty stairway connector off of the kitchen leads to the addition’s second story master suite and ground level garage, as well as a roof deck with views of Austin’s famed Barton Creek Greenbelt. Two additional balconies off of the kitchen and master suite overlook the same. A three-sided clerestory was added in the kitchen, dining, and living area not only to provide complete and even light but to gain higher ceilings. The original portion of the house retains its concrete tile floor and the addition has locally sourced and milled Post Oak flooring.

Using a limited palette of materials, the exterior is a series of interconnecting rectilinear forms clad in vertical metal siding with standing seams, brick, white stucco and clear sealed western red cedar siding. The addition responds to the site by creating a balance of forms that did not previously exist while giving the client much needed programmatic requirements for a growing family.

Material Used :
1. Custom Milled Lap and Gap Western Red Cedar Siding
2. Ashley Norton Kithcen Cabinetry pulls
3. Kohler Purist bathroom fixtures
4. Odin wall mount powder room faucet
