The Westview Residence occupies the last remaining lot on a west Austin cul-de-sac of conspicuous “traditional” homes, previously left unbuilt because of the inherent difficulties of navigating the site’s protected oak trees, a wet-weather creek meandering down its center, and an abrupt descent from its narrow position on the street. In preserving the ‘wildness’ of the landscape, these obstacles ultimately define the home’s character.
A pinwheeling collection of grounded, masonry volumes straddling the modest ravine contain the primary building programs and are bridged by a great room that spans the occasional waterway. The ensemble defines a private natural enclave and a vista that suggests a greater sylvan expanse beyond.
Variegated daylight complements the warmth of articulated oak ceilings and floors, both anchored by massive volumes of rustic brick. While visually shielding the precinct of the home, the brickwork adds dynamic textures activated by the daily passage of sun and shadow.
