This extensive remodel overlooking Lake Austin is a paean to the powerful art it enfolds. Rigorous editing of every distracting, inconsequential element of the original house was critical. So too was the insertion of new complementary components that provide artful ways to move through both interior and exterior rooms. The collection of modern art is arresting. Ranging from a Turrell hologram to a pair of Agnes Martins, the art is framed by the architecture and lighting so that it is experienced in a choreographed, curated way that encourages wandering and an intimate connection to each piece. The mood is set in the entry courtyard. A floating walkway curves down and around a brilliant spiraling blue Clement sculpture. It pauses once, at a moment of surprise, when the first view through the house is filled with the blue water of the lake beyond. Inside, the saturated color of many of the pieces of art are balanced by an absence of other visual clutter in the color palette, furniture, and architecture. A new interior plaster, steel, and bronze stair carves through a space occupied by two small Clement sculptures in niches, a McKay Otto sculpture on a landing and a glass cylinder elevator. This is a very specific place, designed for specific art and for a collector who has a close relationship with each piece.

At the back of this property sits an expansive and private backyard. The large floor-to-ceiling windows give a glimpse into the custom interior while the upper balcony with glass railings provides a great place to overlook the yard.

Elegant and Refined Kitchen Overlooking Brisbane River.⁠ ⁠ This stunning Bulimba home was a complete with a crisp and clean Kitchens by Kathie renovation. The design was kept streamlined and light so not to distract from the home art museum it is surrounded by. This minimalist design allows the paintings and views of Brisbane River to steal the show. ⁠The bright and monochromatic kitchen is perfectly paired with vibrant rugs and complimented by a stunning art wall.⁠ We adore the clean lines and minimalist hand to this renovation. Designer Ebony did a fantastic job creating a functional yet streamlined layout that suited all of the clients needs.⁠
