Inspiration for a timeless home design remodel in New York
Inspiration for a timeless home design remodel in New York

This home was designed for a couple who wanted to live all on one floor, but have a bedroom wing upstairs for visiting family. The home is designed in a “U” shape that creates privacy from neighbors and focuses all rooms around the courtyard toward the view. The “tower” is a unique feature that provides a view lookout, private study, and wine cellar on respective floors.

Trim+Edge is a custom mid-century modern residential landscape remodel in East Austin, Texas (78702). Designed by Hush House, the project transforms a sloped residential lot into three functional outdoor zones using a slatted steel retaining wall, a pea gravel courtyard, and a shaded patio lounge.
2. Design Challenge & Architectural Solution
The Challenge: Leveling a sloped backyard lot to create usable, multi-functional outdoor living spaces for family gathering and entertaining.
The Solution: Installing a low-profile, slatted steel retaining structure to level the upper lawn while creating a seamless step-down transition into a pea gravel courtyard and shaded patio lounge directly adjacent to the main home.
3. Key Architectural Features & Materials
Slatted Steel Retaining Wall: A custom steel retaining structure that encases, levels, and elevates the upper lawn area.
Pea Gravel Courtyard: A low-maintenance gravel patio designed for flexible seating, dining, and casual outdoor entertaining.
Shaded Patio Lounge: An oversized covered seating area situated right next to the house for all-day shade and comfort.
Three-Zone Functional Layout: A layered landscape plan designed to activate distinct areas for concurrent family activities and large social gatherings.

This wonderful French brick manor was brought to life twice, once with a gut renovation and another time with a cosmetic renovation. Each detail was carefully planned to complete a family home that was friendly, tailored and chic. The builder, contractors and designer all worked to bring this together in a short period of time. The colors are all earth tones with accents of curated art and ccessories. Each room tells a story yet flows nicely from one interior to the other.
