Private Residence, Austin TX, 800 SF, completed 2017

The Happy House.  A labor of love where vows were taken and new life began.  Our family designed, managed, and personally rebuilt nearly every square inch of this little house from the foundation to the roof.  As soon as we were done with the main house, we embarked on a 300 sf office/master suite/guest cottage off the back.  Taking cues from the front house, this big new sister in the back blends its contemporary lines into the more traditional form of the main house making it a seamless transition from old to new.  Happiness is a connection to the outdoors.  The new addition cradles the covered deck and screened porch and creates a private outdoor nest to live, work and play in.  Opening up to the back yard and enticing you outside, the sliding doors provide light and views between the two parts of this home.
