8803 North Path

It's almost hard to believe this is just a remodel and not new construction. I appreciate the fact that they kept to a simple material pallet, two type of wood, and marble.  I'm pretty sure that I could handle living with that shower and the closet area too. Plus have I ever mentioned the fact that I'm in love with marble? Lovely.

6400 Cary

This Allandale remodel is a great example of how it's done right. Take a house with good bones, this one happened to have some amazing clerestory windows, open up the floor plan and make sure you give the kitchen and bathrooms a thoughtful overhaul. Bonus point for the good closet and storage space. Oh, and have I ever mention how much I love that Plycraft lounge chair (last picture below).

504 Spiller : Grotto Dome House - John Watson

This is a truly unique home with an interesting history. Designed by architect John Watson in 1978, it is one of Austin's best examples of organic architecture. Watson studied under Frank Lloyd Wright in Taliesin in the 50's and worked on the Usonian houses, the Guggenheim Museum and the Marin County Civic Center.

John describes the Grotto Dome house like this. "The Grotto Dome on Spiller Lane in Austin was designed to complement and reflect a thousand-year-old rock formation in its glass facade. A recirculating waterfall cascades into a pool below the entrance deck creating an intimate exterior space equal to the interior of the structure itself. A 50 ft arched visor of unite cantilevers over the glass wall and protects the sitting area from sun and rain." via
