Canyon Edge

We built this modern home on a steep lot in West Austin. The roof over the carport welcomes the approaching driver, allowing the car to virtually enter the living-room space and share the canyon view. The parked cars rest over the kitchen and are visible and present from the living area. Our client, a family of 4, wanted an efficient house, 2150 SF,that carried a light ecological footprint. The house utilizes CMU thermal mass storage, a SIPS panel roof system and a 6.4 KW solar collector panel on the roof.

Our office was asked to transform and expand a 1980’s-era attached duplex into 2 houses, or condominiums. We added 2^nd-story master bedrooms to the front of the houses with new living areas below, and thus redefined the massing of the houses, their entrances, and sense of autonomy vis-a-vis each other. We played with the line between sameness and differentness of the units of this former duplex: we underscored that they are two mirror-imaging units of one larger structure, and at moments treated the fronts of each slightly differently, imparting to each homeowner a sense of uniqueness.

CEDAR STREET

IN PROGRESS

2300 sq ft Main house with an additional 900 sq ft for an accessory dwelling.

BARKITECTURE

Starting with a single sheet of 4’x8’x1/8” steel, we studied how the piece of material could be cut, using water jet technology, and folded to create an interesting and functional form. We were inspired by the bilateral symmetry of both animals and traditional origami. Two symmetrically folded pieces come together to make the doghouse. Through folding, the doghouse transforms from the archetypal house form on one end into a simple rectangular shape on the opposite end. An interior dog-comfy platform and glass top make it both an attractive side table for a living room and a welcome place for your pup.

Our 2018 Barkitecture Entry Project was awarded The 2018 Barkitecture “Best Urban” Award.
