Ann Arbor Residence, Austin, Texas

The Ann Arbor Residence seamlessly merges the timeless allure of mid-century design with contemporary comforts, celebrating local craftsmanship and ingenuity. A striking juxtaposition of elements, the house features a simple wooden box resting atop a long masonry plinth, where strategic removals and extrusions of brick create captivating visual dynamics and shadow play. These architectural nuances offer glimpses into the interior, inviting a sense of intrigue and connection with the surrounding environment.

While modest street views may beckon, the true essence of the residence unfolds within the private interior courtyard. Anchored by a rectangular pool and hot tub, and complemented by an expansive entertaining deck complete with an outdoor kitchen and firepit, this space is designed for social gatherings and relaxation.

The great room, adorned with a large 16-foot sliding glass door, seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living, fostering a sense of openness and fluidity.

Drawing inspiration from mid-century modernism, the kitchen features a harmonious blend of walnut cabinetry and black soapstone, while the living room centers around a striking masonry fireplace with integrated walnut shelving.

This fireplace acts as a subtle divider between public and private areas, concealing a hallway that leads to guest bedroom, a home office and the primary suite, which also opens to the courtyard for direct access to the pool. The primary bathroom also features walnut cabinetry topped with a custom Bardiglio Marble countertop and integral sink. The star of the show in the bathroom is a large concrete soaking tub enclosed with Bardiglio Marble walls.

Adding to the residence’s allure is a private suite accessible only via a covered rooftop deck, offering a secluded retreat for guests or a serene workspace. Throughout the home, custom steelwork accents, from guardrails to a striking staircase descending from the ceiling into the living room, imbue the space with a sense of modern sophistication and craftsmanship.

The Ann Arbor Residence is a testament to thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail, offering a harmonious blend of mid-century charm and contemporary elegance.
