Texas dream home offers striking blend of modern and traditional design

transitional-exterior

Set on a long and narrow lot in Austin, Texas, this transitional style dream home was designed by Hugh Jefferson Randolph in collaboration with Joseph Fowler Homes. The home was created for a family with two children, offering five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms (including a pool cabana). The challenge of this project was to create a home that would fit into a 1940s neighborhood but meet the modern lifestyle needs of a busy family.

Every surface and material was carefully considered in the house, with a preference for craftsmanship. The cold-rolled steel vent hood and fireplace balance the handmade terracotta tile, and rough-hewn beams provide an overhead rhythm echoed at a smaller scale in the shiplap on the walls of the office nook. Smaller spaces to slip away were developed throughout the house to balance the open volumes of the main spaces, allowing spots to curl up with a good book, or work on Legos.

I would love to see the floorpan of this house with the entrance out front and the garage set back.
