Austin, TX, United States
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2017
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
The Tumbleweed Residence embodies its owners’ desire to live in a home comprised of simple materials—steel, concrete block, and wood—while celebrating the artistry and craft expressed in its construction. Three distinct volumes interlock to form a composition rooted in the landscape, revealing itself through a sequence of spaces experienced both within and in transition between them.
The building’s masses are simplified and abstracted by their white stucco rendering; their softened curves tempering a sharper modernist edge. This subtlety at the exterior is set in deliberate contrast to the bold tactility of the interior, where the evidence of craftsmanship is everywhere apparent: in the welds of the custom steel windows, the tool marks of the waxed hot-rolled steel panel at the kitchen island, and the hand-turned walnut seats of the bar stools. Each element honors the inherent qualities of its material, refined through the care and skill of the maker’s hand.
