Austin, Texas

 

Haute Bohemian

Set among heritage oaks with a majestic lake view, this luxury home and grounds in Austin’s Tarrytown neighborhood are completely transformed and combine the hip and historic in a timeless style.

Sensory Rich

The landscape offers a sophisticated sensory experience relying on texture, fragrance, color and form to complement the live oak canopies, lake views and timeless architectural style. Tightly spaced Japanese Yew hedges enclose the entire property, separating the ordinary streetscape from an extraordinarily simple, yet dynamic entry garden. Inspired by Fernando Caruncho’s Famous Green Garden in Madrid, the entry garden uses familiar limestone in a robust application to support an annual display of ‘Psycho White Cosmos.’ The use of ephemeral plantings is luxurious and bold.

Acoustically Conscious

The gorgeous home will honor Austin’s musical soul by supporting HAAM, a local non-profit which provides access to affordable health care for Austin’s low-income working musicians. In keeping with the musical theme of the home, the spaces will be designed for entertaining and for an optimal listening experience.
