Step into this striking modern home in a leafy Austin neighborhood

Designed by architect Clayton Korte this spectacular modern home makes the most of its steeply sloped, leafy site in a neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The owner’s vision was for a refined retreat notable for fluid spaces and artful details.

Throughout the house, the flow of spaces is informed by natural light; rooms open one after another and draw one forward to discover what comes next. Two deceptively simple single-story gabled structures are connected by a glass entry foyer through a formal entry court.

The foyer greets guests with a unique oak wood floor pattern and reveals an outdoor living oasis with a pool at the sunken rear yard while bridging public and private wings on the main level.

“As the city of Austin continues to grow,” notes Paul Clayton, AIA, Principal at Clayton Korte, “this residence evokes a modern simplicity while respecting the history of the surrounding Clarksville neighborhood. From the street level, one sees a seemingly single-story home, but an open tread entryway stair leads down to generous gathering spaces and bedrooms tucked below. The unfolding spaces provide a sense of discovery for residents and guests.” The home includes a three-car garage.

What We Love: This modern home in Austin provides a fantastic indoor-outdoor living environment that helps to flood the interiors with natural light. Spread out over two levels, this home offers an idyllic floor plan with the main living spaces separated from the private living spaces. On the lower level, is a fabulous entertaining space with the family room connecting to a spacious outdoor area with a sparkling pool. Overall, a thoughtfully designed home for contemporary living and entertaining.

As light and shade change throughout the day, the afternoon sun pours into the master suite, which is located in the private wing opposite the balcony, through large bedroom windows and a skylight in the bathroom.
