From Architects : “Balcones residence is sited on an unusually large and beautiful lot for central Austin. Many extraordinary live oaks populate the property and frame a picturesque view of the Colorado River, Essentially an enclave, the house is free to open to the out-of-doors without fear of privacy being invaded by neighboring properties.

The desire for a new kitchen, a revamped master bedroom, a more efficient plan, and higher level of finish led to a multifaceted renovation where very little of the existing house was left untouched. Light and view are embraced throughout the design. A delicate, purpose-made steel and glass extension in the living room makes room for e new piano and emphasizes the connection to the site. The kitchen is designed to be the center of the house and is carefully detailed in stainless steel, granite, cherry, and rock. ” For detail visit Balcones Residence in Central Austin by Alter Studio.
