Mountain Top Residence

Perched above the Balcones neighborhood, Mountain Top Residence is shaped around extraordinary views, generous hospitality, and a close collaboration with its owners.

The home’s radial plan responds to a site with views in nearly every direction, from the Colorado River and surrounding hillsides to Mount Bonnell and Downtown Austin. Living spaces open toward the landscape, creating a constant connection between indoors and out while balancing dramatic views with privacy.

Designed for clients who move easily between intimate dinners and large gatherings, the house creates generous social spaces alongside private areas for both the owners and their frequent guests. A warm contemporary palette brings richness to the architecture, from three carefully selected native limestones to custom-profile stained wood siding.

The result is highly tailored but relaxed: a home shaped as much by the way its owners live and gather as by its remarkable site.
