Austin Residential

Another gorgeous design by Studio Penhaskashi, this treetop residence is perched above a quiet creek and surrounded by a canopy of mature oak trees. Thoughtfully transformed from its 1974 origins, the Northwest Hills home offers the feeling of a private treetop retreat just minutes from downtown Austin. Designed to embrace its dramatic hillside setting, the multilevel residence features expansive decks and oversized windows that create a seamless connection between the interiors and surrounding landscape. At the heart of the open floor plan, a warm, light-filled kitchen provides an inviting gathering place for everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the home, natural materials, sculptural details and carefully framed views complement the architecture without competing with the setting. Changing light, lush foliage and peaceful views through the tree canopy become part of the experience, giving the home a sense of serenity, warmth and individuality. Intimate yet expansive, this distinctive property offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural character and proximity to the heart of Austin.
