YEAR
2017
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
The South 5th Residence slips nonchalantly into Austin’s eclectic Bouldin neighborhood, deftly negotiating zoning constraints, envelope limitations, and critical-root-zone requirements. Anchored by a 25-inch Durand Oak and an unexpectedly steep escarpment, the design emphasizes a dynamic spatial sequence that provides views while serving as an abstract backdrop for seasonal shifts of light and circumstance.
The visitor arrives through a verdant courtyard under the majestic oak. A thin gabion wall at the street, evergreen plantings and a perforated, Cor-ten corrugated screen to the south, provide varying degrees of privacy and animation for the ensemble. A transparent living room hovers over the tumbling escarpment and reveals an expansive panorama. The visceral textures of concrete, mill-finished steel and raw stucco are presented against finely detailed millwork and custom site-glazed window walls—which are framed with rift-sawn white oak and steel to form flitch plate mullions.
