A 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.

Looking toward the water closet containing a Mirabelle Bradenton Toilet along with wall mounted storage cabinets from Aristokraft, the galley shape seems very natural in this layout. The Mirabelle vanity lighting placed over the mirror provide ample light for any task, particularly when lit in concert with the Elements ET2 ceiling mounted drum fixtures. The Kohler K-2885 under mounted "man's" lavatory in concert with the Delta Arzo faucet is slick and elegant. All of the cabinets are from Aristokraft. The vanities are the Wentworth Maple in Sarsaparilla finish, while the storage piece in the foreground are the Eastland Maple in Cocoa Glaze finish. The Kashmir Gold stone countertops fabricated by Stone Artisans complete the ensemble.
