François Lévy Architecture + InteriorsA 43” diameter heritage pecan guided the plan of this neighborhood-scaled, modestly-priced, single-story, L-shaped house. In Austin’s seemingly perpetual drought, the goal was to create a symbiotic relationship between house and tree: to complement, not combat each other. The roof’s east/west parallel ridges create a valley directly across from the base, where water is collected at a grate, nourishing the tree. The roof also maximizes south facing surfaces, elevated at 15 degrees for future solar collection. The open, public spaces of the home maximize the north-south light. The private zone of the bedrooms and bathrooms include a generous gallery; its angled walls and large sliding doors are faceted about the tree. The pecan becomes a central focus for indoor and outdoor living, participating in the house in both plan and section. The design welcomes and nurtures the tree as integral to its success.

Harvey Windows and DoorsGreat grids! The simulated divided lite grids (a.k.a. muntins) in these Harvey Tribute double hung windows are done in a 4-over-1 pattern, a great choice for smaller windows like this, or for when you want grids but don't want to obstruct too much of your view.

Garner HomesAs a family of six, our clients requested a home where their children could gather with friends. Being located in Texas, it was essential that the outdoor space be usable year-round, regardless of sweltering heat waves or sudden cold fronts. To combat the heat, the 750-square-foot covered patio with ceiling fans and outdoor kitchen offered a welcome respite from the sun while the sparkling pool with sunshelf and serene water features was refreshing for both children and adults alike. During cooler months, the sleek fire pit quickly produced heat to ward off the chill within minutes.

Mountainwood HomesIn order to create a cohesive look for the entire area, the hardwood floors throughout the home were refinished and the dated wainscoting was removed which required us to retexture all of the walls. The window above the kitchen sink serves as a passthrough for guests outside in the backyard. New skylights above the oversized island provide more natural light and help combat the home’s low, 8-foot, ceilings. An existing window that was once blocked out from the kitchen partition wall now is visible from the kitchen area.

The nicely-upgraded appliance package is now along the lines of a commercial-grade kitchen; the upgrade to a Sub-Zero Refrigerator is the homeowners favorite feature of the remodel.
