In a home on Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, two wings are connected by a long open breezeway. Again, the pool occupies the courtyard, and a visual axis leads the eye outward into a grove of lovely live oaks, which themselves help complete the overall composition. I am particularly drawn to the way asymmetry is used here to great effect, while the parts of the composition create balance. There are several very clever design moves here: Placing the angled wooden lounge chairs along solid, hard-edged stone walls makes beautiful contrast, and the columns supporting the shelter at the terrace beyond extend the punctuating effect of the tree trunks. The open, recessed, covered loggia on the left is mirrored by its opposite: solid stone walls. And notice how the sky and earth are merged by the pool, making each wing of the house appear to float in space, but "bridged" beneath the oak canopy.

Everything the eye sees here is in perfect harmony with the larger environment. The courtyard pool lines up with the breezeway to frame a rugged stand of desert trees; together they draw your attention to the vast sky. The negative spaces — sky, trees and distant hills — are as important as the positive ones — home, pool and breezeway.

I like the seclusion of the are. Feels very private.

love the window walls (retracted fully here) as well as the full length divided glass doors inside the loggia. And is that a length of rain dispersing fins on the edge of the loggia??

Great idea for a pool house, a gym area and a guest house.

House built around center pool/courtyard

use this as template...run paved checkered grass sqaures on the side where the pool concrete sides are. plant just grass in center, where water is shown here. this leads to the visual of the back woods, which gives depth and space to the back yard. borrowed from another photo : When the doors of this beautiful room are opened, it's almost as if the entire universe becomes part of the space.

Love this!!!

I like the open feel and view and the idea that the open breeze way could connect two parts of the house and perhaps guest quarters.
