This Westlake site posed several challenges that included managing a sloping lot and capturing the views of downtown Austin in specific locations on the lot, while staying within the height restrictions. The service and garages split in two, buffering the less private areas of the lot creating an inner courtyard. The ancillary rooms are organized around this court leading up to the entertaining areas. The main living areas serve as a transition to a private natural vegetative bluff on the North side. Breezeways and terraces connect the various outdoor living spaces feeding off the great room and dining, balancing natural light and summer breezes to the interior spaces. The private areas are located on the upper level, organized in an inverted “u”, maximizing the best views on the lot. The residence represents a programmatic collaboration of the clients’ needs and subdivision restrictions while engaging the unique features of the lot.

Cornerstone Architects If you look at image 7 it might help give you a more full picture of the transition and how this space looks from outside. Hope that helps

Anne DeCocco If you go to LampsPlus.com and put "mission style ceiling fans" in the search box, you'll see some nice options from various manufacturers.
Nice windows with horizontal panels and overhead panels. Excellent inner patio/courtyard. Lines are good but brick/stones are not. Overhang can be used for main deck patio
