Scenic Beautiful House at Lake Travis by Dick Clark Architecture

ADVERTISEMENTS

Wouldn’t it nice to have a beautiful house design like this? Wouldn’t it splendid to spend and lay down on the veranda after a long day of hard work enjoying some cold cappuccino while seeing the time exchanging from noon to night? And yes it is nice to have a house like this, a home that will accommodate a family vision as it grows. And yes it is a great soothing experience to refresh after the long day of hard work by enjoying the veranda and a cup of cold cappuccino. Dick Clark Architecture advised their clients to keep the scale of the house as small as possible for a large family to live in. Considering details and materials which can be maintain not just effectively but also efficiently means to me that less time needed for “clean up” alias more time relaxing. The most gestural element of the house is a raised, copper clad pavilion with transparent walls facing south toward the neighborhood and north toward the courtyard and lake.

Exterior walls, made of sandstone, were assembled through a drystack method which means no mortar has been used. Halili limestone is used continuously inside as the surface material for the pool courtyard as well as inside the house. The most notable feature that I like is where we can bring together the family’s love of water in the Jacuzzi fits up to 12 people while together enjoying scenic view.
