This relaxed home was created for Tim Brown and his family. He spent many years designing and playing with locations on their 10 acre property located 20 miles West of Austin Texas. A large focus was placed on making this home as energy efficient as it is aesthetically pleasing. The placement on the site was key in keeping this a low energy using home. With lots of cross ventilation and clerestory windows to vent heat, this homes energy bills are half the amount of a typical home in this area. They also incorporated a rainwater collection system to catch 100% of the homes potable water.
