The side view of the house shows the passive solar orientation of the gable roof with the angle parallel with the street slicing through the volume in the form of the cedar-clad bay windows.

These handsome overhead garage doors were custom built using cedar wood and feature a a herringbone cladding with vertical and horizontal trim and arches. The doors were custom built and expertly installed by Cedar Park Overhead Doors, which has been serving the greater Austin, TX area for more than 30 years.

The Owner, a skilled metal fabricator and avid custom car owner and creator, needed more space to spread out given his profession and interests. Strouse Davis was tasked with creating this space on the site of his current home. The 2,500 sf building is clad in metal panel and clear cedar siding. The roof form is a unique semi-butterfly semi-shed roof. The roof water drains into an above ground concrete bio-retention planter. To honor his passion in life, large steel beams are exposed and intersect within the space.

NEWLY PLANTED, SEE PHOTOS TAKEN AFTER 2 YEARS. This San Rafael front landscape has been dramatically updated with a welcoming concrete pathway entrance, and complimented by a variety of architectural plants, hardy succulents, textural grasses and a majestic, fruitless olive tree. The dramatic transformation is enhanced by a raised corten steel planter at the pathway entrance with gravel and succulents. Two horizontal ipe wood structures provide contemporary accents. New raised concrete planters alongside the new concrete driveway define the property and showcase more colorful succulents. A beautiful gray house paint color and ipe accents complete the remodel.

The back porch is essentially a second living room — just one with better air. Cedar walls and ceiling, flagstone floors, and open-air archways that frame the backyard like a painting. A full outdoor kitchen runs along one wall, stone-clad with a built-in grill, refrigerator, and sink. On the other end, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors a proper seating area with a ceiling fan overhead for the warmer months. Accordion doors connect it directly to the living room, and custom phantom screens mean you can close it off without losing the feeling of being outside. The whole space was designed to be used — not just admired from the inside.
