Casa Morena

Casa Morena is situated on a plot with verdant pine trees, a place where the view becomes lost in the green of the surrounding area and the immense blue of a bay. The pine trees mark the site and have influenced the planning and reticulated design of the house. Some of the schist, used to build the solid walls, was removed from the site. These walls mark the house’s foundation, which is deconstructed into walls that become lower and lower, becoming separate from the house and merging into the garden. A natural and neutral foundation, in its raw state, that rises from the ground in direct contrast to the clear lightness of the upper floor, white and smooth, composed of horizontal layers that appear to become loose and floating, seeking...

Sightline Residence

Just west of the urban core of Austin, Texas sits the neighborhood of Tarrytown. It is tucked along a scenic stretch of Lake Austin, where a lush canopy of oak trees shade the homes there. Sightline House is located on a narrow lot in Tarrytown, and features several large oak trees surrounding the home. Embracing the linear site, the house takes on a slender plan, but leaves space for a side yard with a pool courtyard. In order to meet the scale of the street and its’ older single-story houses, the home’s first level extends the full length of the lot, while the second level is set much further back. The first level is wrapped in brick with a raked joint detail, where the horizontal joints are set in deeper than their vertical c... More
