House Above Lake Austin / Andersson-Wise Architects
Architects: Andersson-Wise Architects
Location: Austin, Texas, USA
Inspiration from architect:
This house represents a modern transformation of the environmentally responsive Spanish style. Sited on a cliff, with terraces that descend a steep hill, the buildings simple materials celebrate the site and climate not by drawing attention to them, but by blending in.
