In continuation of our series (see Mitbury, the public house – Where you go to have coffee whilst being surrounded by Nature and the House in ITU – fuse of Brazilian and Italian Architecture) today, I will take you on a journey to the City of Austin… Yeah, the capital of Texas.

Most people like you know Austin for it’s outstanding food, great live music venues, and its general weirdness. However, what many of you do not know about this great city is its relaxed and laid-back character which is often depicted in some of its priceless Real Estate.
There’s a striking project in Austin Texas I am excited to tell you about. I can guarantee that you’ve never seen anything like it before.
As if trying to understand the concept behind this project wasn’t exciting enough, I stumbled on some priceless information that has left me in awe for the last 3 days.
What is it that makes me feel so star-struck about this project?
1. Overlooks a well catered Lawn
What is it that makes me feel so star-struck about this project?
This Country-Home project as I love to call it overlooks a well catered lawn. On this lawn, there is a path from the house that leads to a swimming pool, which also leads to a guest cabin, and finally to a boat dock which anchors boats and can serve as your fishing platform.
In other words, this is a Water front property!
Yeah.. that’s the good life.
Listen here 👂👂🏿: I sincerely believe that to enjoy your life to the fullest, your environment must continually immerse or draw your attention to Nature in some way like this Real Estate.
This Particular Project outlines the layout of a residence and its surrounding elements, thoughtfully designed to blend with the natural environment in such a way that it pulls you to enjoy it.
Are you ready???
Let’s go.
What is a Home without a Dramatic Entry?
a. The Driveway is the first feature I want to show you: This driveway isn’t your everyday driveway that just connects you to your car park or garage straight from the main road like the one in the image below, Where’s the fun in it?
If that’s the only driveway experience you’ve had up till now, you are missing out. This driveway is the main inland access route to this property, gently winding through the landscape to approach the house in a way that creates a sense of anticipation. With all the beauties your eyes are fed with, you would acknowledge it was worth the drive when you finally arrive.
Now, what you do when you arrive here depends on one single thing.
Your status!
What is your status regarding this property?
Does your family own this property? If yes, you most definitely would have access to the garage here else, you can park in the AutoCourt.
b. When you hear about Auto Courts, what do you think? Auto courts, also known as motor courts, are open areas or spaces designed for the arrival and temporary parking of vehicles near a building or residence. The Auto Court in this project is a designated parking area for guests and visitors.The auto court is integrated into the flow of the space to feel natural. From the Auto Court, you can access the main residence through a door or the outdoor area through a path.
c. Having talked about the Driveway and Auto Court, the 3rd feature that I wanted to reveal to show you is the Courtyard: The main house consists of two wings flanking the courtyard and connected by a glass volume. I will talk about the main house later.
From the courtyard, you have visual access to the back of this property. That is; while standing in the courtyard, you have a wonderful view of waterbody on the opposite end of this property.
