This luxury speculative residence overlooks the City of Austin skyline from the nearby edges of the Hill Country. All interior spaces line the exterior courtyard to create a human connectivity with the the natural elements and views. The exterior walls are devoid of traditional wood framing methods that often promote moisture intrusion and unhealthy living conditions. Instead, insulated double wythe exterior walls create a monolithic thermal barrier that also creates more structurally sound, fire-proof, and natural and aesthetically pleasing alternative.
