Before I discovered modernism my first love was Japanese architecture. This gorgeous home designed by Nolan+Bell Design does a beautiful job of combing the two. Called the “Yutori” house after the Japanese concept of spaciousness and harmony with the environment, this house, guest house, and log cabin on 10 acres couldn’t have been more aptly named.

Read MoreI absolutely love the material pallet on this new build. The juxtaposition and massing of the brick wing creates an interesting tension between the rest of the house. Inside the extensive use of wood as a finish tickles me pink. It’s just a shame the the previous house isn’t around any longer.

Read MoreI’m really loving these slick Scandinavian modern remodels that keep popping up in South Austin this year. This one is just the perfect size too. Big enough to be a starter home with a little room for growth, but small enough to keep the price affordable (relatively speaking).

Read MoreI’ve been watching this “mid century modern” new builds in Dripping Springs for some time. I certainly appreciate the post and beam construction and the clerestory windows, though somehow I always have a feeling they’ve slightly missed the mark. Regardless they are compelling for the right buyer.

Read MoreI believe that we’ve featured this Davey McEathron designed house when it was brand new. It’s great to see all that wood siding getting a bit of a natural patina on it. I love the natural ombre that shows where the sun hits, and it sure beats the never ending battle of trying to keep it looking brand new.

Read MoreThis adorable, and perhaps more importantly affordable, Swede Hill bungalow was built in 1925. So many of these have been torn down to build awful modern infill, so it’s great to see this one has been saved. I assume the #1 in the address means a larger ADU will eventually be built behind it, a win for housing density while maintaining the architectural integrity of the neighborhood.
