The Yaupon Holly Residence at Spanish Oaks, Austin by Andrew Wagner Architects
This remarkable home masterfully blends Modern design with the natural beauty of Texas Hill Country. Nestled among preserved old growth oaks, the residence features thoughtfully integrated landscaping, including large patinaed steel planters and retaining that introduce a contemporary edge using authentic materials that also includes regionally sourced Lueders limestone masonry.
At the heart of the home is a stunning and expansive backyard oasis, seamlessly connected to the interior via ten-foot-tall pocketing glass doors. These expansive openings, along with high clerestory windows, flood the Great Room with natural light. Yet, thanks to the deep, stealth profile overhanging roof, the home remains cool and comfortable, as the canopy is designed to block direct sunlight.
Designed for year-round enjoyment, the residence embraces the local climate with integrated and covered outdoor living and dining spaces, a raised edge swimming pool, and a fully equipped indoor/ outdoor kitchen, perfectly uniting form, function, and environment.
