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 modestly expand a very typical 1980’s-era attached duplex, into 2 “houses” (technically condominiums). We were able to add 2^nd-story master bedrooms to the front of the houses with new living areas below, and thus we were able to wholly redefine the massing of the houses from the street, and redefine the entrances and sense of autonomy for each house. We also played with the line between sameness and differentness of the units of this former duplex, expressing that they are clearly one larger structure of two mirror-imaging units while simultaneously treating the fronts of each somewhat differently. The project is clearly one 2-house development, but each house is also unique.

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.
