Perched along a verdant slope overlooking downtown Austin, the City Park Residence is delicately interwoven into the rugged beauty of its surroundings. Rolling hills frame the urban skyline, accentuated by the iconic Pennybacker Bridge. The home is suspended in dynamic tension between this extravagant panorama and the intimacy of a private court as grounded moments of pause and embrace counterbalance the constant allure of the spectacular.The residence first reveals itself as a modest one-story structure and elegantly repairs the landscape scar left by the demolition of its predecessor, years prior. A sloping garden transforms the remnant hillside cut and descends to a covered, breezy terrace, with pool, lawn, and view beyond. Profiled wood and native stone complement the warmth of mahogany window walls at the exterior. Inside, dexterous wood and steel form functional millwork and sculptural details that minimize quotidian visual noise to refocus on the dramatic natural surroundings. Hosted on Acast.
