House in Texas

Westlake Drive House by James D. LaRue Architects
James D. LaRue Architects  has completed an amazing project of residential Westlake Drive house in Austin, Texas. The elegant building is located on a steep slope and a bridged entry leads directly into a glass-walled living area that overlooks the expansive golf course below. The total area of ??Westlake Drive is 440 sq.m. The mansion consists of three separate blocks, which are connected by bridges, bays and even a mini-streets. On the territory there is also a beautiful garden. Stone structures are distinguished by a large number of windows and glass elements (bridges, terraces and stairs), which creates an interesting contrast between the brutality and fragility, the massiveness and weightlessness. And despite all its architectural complexity and intricacy, the mansion Westlake Drive blends well with the surrounding nature.

Terrace Mountain House by Dick Clark Architecture

This beautiful contemporary house was designed by the Dick Clark Architecture, and situated in Westlake Hills, Texas. Terrace Mountain House is set well off of the street, offering privacy and spectacular view of downtown Austin. According to the client?s wish the plan is simply arranged around an open living, dining, and kitchen space to provide connection between public and private areas. Massive walls harmonize with an amazing pool and outdoor areas for relaxing and spending time in the open air. Designers used lots of local materials such as limestone Texas Lueders, copper and plaster, which combine well with other interior materials and modern furnishings. Dick Clark Architecture was previously presented in the blog with their Water House.
