A spacious open floor plan kitchen with a seamless layout

TOM KUNDIG, FAIA, RIBA, DESIGN PRINCIPAL

“My favorite part of this project is how the building engages the site. We were able to very surgically insert the home into the ravine, leaving the landscape in its natural state as much as possible. As a result, we delivered a house that serves the lifestyle of our client and creates a super exciting perch to look out over the hills to the city of Austin beyond.”

Open Floor Plan Kitchen

A home that elegantly navigates the constraints of its challenging site. From the main entry at the top of the hill, the landscape drops away almost immediately, morphing from suburban neighborhood to steep, rocky ravine. Caddy Shack revels in this condition, hovering over the rugged terrain to capture sweeping views of the surrounding landscape and Austin skyline beyond.

At the public, street-facing side, the home’s long, low profile creates a bridge across the landscape, framing glimpses of the hillside below its central volume. Rusted steel siding harmonizes with the neutral colors of the surrounding brush and rocks, and allows the home to balance dual impressions of strength and lightness. An attached garage echoes this expression, punctuated by clerestory windows to capture natural light. Inside the garage, a workstation provides dedicated space for the client, a professional golfer, to tune his clubs.

The luxury kitchen design inside features exquisite California modern kitchens, offering both elegance and functionality to complement the stunning architecture and breathtaking views.
