E2211 Urban Retreat in Austin

E2211 Urban Retreat
Architect, Builder, Developer: Ravel Architecture
Location: Austin, Texas, USA
E2211 is an urban retreat in Austin Texas that was developed, designed, and built by Ravel Architecture.
A poured-in-place concrete wall serves as a boundary to a private north facing entry garden. The building is justified to the back of the lot in order to maximize the outdoor space. Large double story glazing connects the dining area and courtyard for indoor/outdoor feel.
The home features a semi-connected kitchen with built-in appliances – for entertaining and discreet conversation zones. The ground floor master has exterior access and unique combination bathroom-closet. The second floor den overlooks the dining room out to the northern yard.
A southern clerestory window balances light throughout the year, helping to provide natural illumination to every room in the house. Hand made rift-sawn white oak cabinetry is featured throughout the home.
What was the brief"
Since Ravel Architecture were the developers of the project, (and their own clients!) the brief was for them to design a home that would be worthy of long-term care. Ravel Architecture wanted to make a statement about how more housing should be developed directly by architects.
What were the key challenges"
The lot is small for Austin, typical lots...
