Project Feature: Austin Hillside Home With French Architectural Influence
DESIGNED TO INSPIRE
This hillside home with French architectural influence is a project we have enjoyed designing over several continuous phases. Meant for entertaining with ease and enjoying stunning city views, we set out to pull people through, encouraging a fluid experience of the spaces.
A PROJECTION OF PASSION
This house is personally very representative of our company Turnstyle Design, because it is attune to why I got in this business to begin with. My love for understanding the root of things and how all that is beautiful and functional comes from some classic notion or other, is one of my great loves. It is rare to find a client that shares that same enthusiasm, but the homeowner in this project was a welcome exception. Having a client truly interested in the sum of the parts allowed me to place emphasis on the things that have story-value, and helped them discover and fall in love with where things come from; their origin.
A PLACE TO UNWIND, A PLACE TO INVIGORATE
This home has areas to foster both contemplation and community at the same time, including a beautifully textured space lovingly christened “The Retreat”. Subtle references to legendary designer William Haines and further developed artistic intentions encouraged the growth of the homeowner’s art collection.
SUBTLE DRAMA
I loved the openness and accessibility we created in this home. Color and pattern play give rich texturing without overwhelming the senses. Artistic touches such as hand-painted and custom designed vignettes throughout, ensure this homes uniqueness for the very special family that lives there. With a European sensibility, this home now balances a refined style without overpowering the everyday experience. A home must always be comfortable to live in.
