Lake Austin Residence
Perched along the limestone bluffs of Lake Austin, this residence is defined by its layered relationship to the land. A series of terraced gardens, stone steps, and steel handrails move gracefully down the slope—each level offering a new perspective of the lake and surrounding canopy. Native and adapted plantings weave between weathered stone walls and softened edges, creating a landscape that feels both structured and organic. The home’s entry unfolds through a serene courtyard where a stone fountain and vine-clad walls create a gentle rhythm, leading to a pool garden designed for quiet retreat.
