HILLSIDE HOUSE

Austin, TX

Situated on a steep hill with stunning views of downtown Austin, Hillside House reflects the owner’s desire to have a “right sized” sustainable home that embraces outdoor living. All areas of the house were designed to flow directly into the landscape, with ample porches, gardens and outdoor living spaces. Terraced directly into the hill, the upper level includes the master bedroom and main living areas. By using a “green roof” on the lower children’s wing, a generous courtyard was created, preserving a stand of 50 year old live oak trees.
