This H+UO designed house follows on the ever more common theme of a traditional two story home done in a modern vernacular. It's a theme we are seeing more and more of, and in my opinion it's a good thing. The interior is also on trend with light wide plank flooring and airy open spaces. That, plus a great central location help it add up to a price tag just north of a million dollars.

Read MoreI talk a lot about "material pallets" when describing homes. It's things like flooring, tile, brick etc that make up the appearance of a place. They are generally costly to replace, so when you find a place like this where the material pallet is spot on, it's a bit bonus. I really love visual texture that the brick give the interior spaces as well. Very nicely done.

Read MoreIt's easy to think about architecture as just internal spaces. On this house however, it's clear that architect Paul Lamb put just as much thought to the outdoor spaces, their connection to the house, and how to keep them private. I always admire those that dare to step a bit outside of the standard box, something that this house does quite literally.

Read MoreI'm always interested to see how well aesthetically speaking a house holds up to the test of time. While the bamboo floors and maple cabinetry date this house a bit, overall it stands up pretty well. Bonus: Price just dropped $50k.

Read MoreI'm seeing a new trend in the spec housing market, and I like it. Slowly the helter skelter "modern" roof lines and mismatched bright siding colors are being replaced by houses with simple white volumes and minimal but organic inspired interiors. Hopefully we can see more of this distill down into the lower dollar infill in East Austin as well.

Read MoreThis Rosedale new build was designed by architect Nick Mehl who formed Element 5 Architecture this summer with some friends from grad school. It's a bit hard to get a feel for the space, but the detailing and materials look nice.
