FLOATING BOX HOUSE

Austin, TX
2006

Next

This house stands between Texas’ rural past and Austin’s new urban skyline. To avoid distraction from the rural landscape,
signifi cant portions of the program are located below grade. The buried plinth, the floating box, and the entirely transparent glassed enclosure create a frame which allows for an unobstructed view of the yard and live oaks on one side and the Austin skyline on the other.
