A Residential Architecture Project in Austin, TX

The Bend of the River remodel project required our Austin architects to rework an existing floor plan to take better advantage of backyard views and promote a relaxed sense of indoor-outdoor living. This home backs up to the Austin greenbelt and a limestone cliff, offering beautiful and tranquil scenery previously underappreciated by the original design. Our architects came up with a plan to add large sliding glass doors and expand the back deck. This solution reinvented the space, opening the home to the gorgeous grounds and creating an expansive outdoor living area. Our team added an outdoor kitchen to the massive deck, anchoring the space as a hub for entertaining and outdoor fun. Inside the home, the first floor was renovated to include a new kitchen, dining space, living room, laundry room, guest suite, and mudroom attached to the garage entry. The kitchen features sage green cabinets, gold fixtures, and handcrafted tile backsplash, carrying in the natural feel with a refined edge. Upstairs, we reconfigured the second floor to create a large game room, master suite, and two bedrooms with en suite baths. The game room features custom built-ins that increase functional storage and provide a workspace for the busy family.
