Skyline Spec

On a sloping site in West Lake Hills, this house slides in between mature Live Oaks to create a strong connection to nature.

The form of the house is long and linear, following the topography of the site and directing the perspective towards impressive views of downtown Austin. Sliding glass doors pocket completely into the walls, creating a 40’ wide opening between the living area and outdoor spaces. Stucco, stone, and zinc create a natural and low-maintenance exterior, while floor-to-ceiling glass and deep overhangs make spaces both dramatic and comfortable.
