I love building lots that have a steep grade. They force creativity and open up a whole new range of design options. This duplex sits on a long steep lot that backs to a small stream. They have done a good job of providing privacy and leveraging views the slope provides.

Read MoreI took last week off to spend a few days in the Caribbean, and I was pleased to come home to see this beauty again. I featured it just over a year ago but you may recognize it as the Aquahaus house. It's been well received on the internet and with good reason, it's a beauty.

Read MoreThis house is truly a sum of it's parts. The house designed by architect Don Harris in 2005 is great. Add to that some really great landscape architecture by Land Restoration and things get even better. The fact that it's in Travis Heights and a half block from Stacy Pool is the cherry on top.

Read MoreDesigned by architect Leonard Lundgren in 1956 this house isn't much to look at from the street due to the sloping lot. Luckily the same sloping lot makes for some dramatic tree top views from the main floor. I absolutely love all the warm wood paneling in this home, a true mid century modern gem that looks perfectly preserved. This one is a steal at that price.

Read MoreThis Moore Tate designed and built home is a bit of a departure from their typical modern farm house designs. It does however retain their typical attention to detail and quality. I particularly like the windows that are set all the way to the floor line.

Read MoreIt can be hard to have champagne taste on a beer budget, but when it comes to mid century modern homes in Austin, I think this is about as good as it gets, especially when you count the amazing location. This is a perfect example of a thoughtful, well executed remodel. Hats off to you Gillespie. Hats off.
