Inspired by the 1920s brick detailed facades of the Amsterdam School, the architects designed this steel-framed residence, clad in black bricks of varied texture, as a vertical garden.
Two distinct volumes clad in concrete, masonry, and glass differentiate public space from private space in this steel-framed residence; both offer views of the surrounding river and mountains.
With a new structure, the architects responded to their client’s passion for barns by incorporating into the design traditional qualities of barns—generous spaces, repetitive timber frame—while creating a complex interior for modern living.
A two-story 3,230-square-foot residence includes a double height reception and dining area, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office, a media room, a library, playroom, and spa room.
David Webber, AIA, of the Austin-based firm Webber + Studio, jokes that the house in Austin’s Hyde Park neighborhood that he designed for himself and Ransom Baldasare, his business and life partner, is really just like everyone else’s.
