Behind the Design 
This secluded modern home sits in the heart of Westlake, Austin, TX, but it wasn’t an entirely unfamiliar spot to this large, lovable family of six. With this lot located right next to the house they used to live in, it was a spot that truly felt like home.
By working closely with Cornerstone Architects, their primary goal was to maximize views of downtown Austin and the greenbelt. They wanted the design to feel minimal, purposeful, comfortable, and welcoming, and not so modern that it didn’t function for these homebodies at heart.
An entire outdoor living area was a must for these Westlake, Austin, TX views, and this space receives just as much traffic, if not more, as the interior. Sprawling views fit within a classy lounge, dining, and kitchen area. Yet, the best of indoor-outdoor living is only steps away when walking through 10’ tall glass doors into the home’s main living area. It features 2-story high ceilings, a glamorous fireplace, and a neighboring kitchen that is elegant in its own right with custom undercabinet windows and stunning stone slab backsplash. The result is spectacular.
