Living spaces open out to Lake Austin at residence by A Parallel
Rooms with white and glass walls slots on top of the stone-clad ground floor of this house overlooking Lake Austin, by Texas firm A Parallel Architecture.
The two-storey Lake Austin Residence has a wide footprint with floor-to-ceiling windows at nearly every vantage point.
Structurally, the residence is comprised of an assortment of rectangular cubes that are joined and stacked together.
The exterior alternates between limestone brickwork and white stucco, in addition to fully glazed sections and wood panelling around smaller windows.
"Like a butterfly specimen pinned to its mounting, this sinuous lake-front home's light floating roofs are anchored to its site by heavy rusticated limestone masses," said A Parallel Architecture, which is based locally. Measuring 6,750 square feet (627 square metres), the house is accessed through a decked entryway that floats above water and meets a fully glazed front door and walled section.
A tall living room with a large stone fireplace forms the centre of the home. The one-and-a-half-height space open onto a outdoor stone patio and infinity pool.
To the left is a kitchen with a second sitting area, also adjacent to the backyard.
Sliding glass walls open up along the entire back of the property, enabling the owners to make the most of the region's warm weather.
In the left wing of the house are three bedrooms, each with a bathroom attached. To the right side is the master suite, also with a private bathroom as well as a walk...
