Hillside High-Concept Contemporary Estate
3200stratfordhills.com 5 BE D | 6 F U L L + 2 H A LF BAT H S | 7, 178 S F | 1 .01 AC As featured in Architectural Digest, this high-concept contemporary estate is an astounding architectural landmark with a delightfully rustic interior. Originally designed by Larry Speck and remodeled by award-winning architects Paul Lamb and Ted Young, this masterful construction juxtaposes austere concrete with sleek white pine floors and lofty wood-and-steel roof trusses. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows create expansive views of the lush hillside and twinkling lights of Downtown Austin, allowing bursts of natural light to soften and envelop the living spaces. Purposefully neutral tones form a gallery-esque backdrop for a beloved art collection and bold furnishings, with ingenious interior architecture and design by New York-based Vaughn Miller Studios. The kitchen features a wall clad in tiles of lichen-speckled tree bark and a pristine island topped in white macaubas quartzite, with a traditional LaCanche range. Arabescato marble and cement tiles with radiant heat set off the poured concrete walls in the master bath, with blackened steel paneling similarly accenting the master bedroom. Indoor-outdoor living is embraced by a series of multi-level connecting decks that lead to a large, pristine pool. An exercise room and private garden tucked at the back of the house offer a peaceful retreat, while a fabric-walled media room provides a cozy gathering space. A Control4 smart-home system offers video surveillance, alarm, and a state-of-the-art surround sound system, all controlled via Apple iOS app for iPhone and iPad. Constantly blurring the line between spectacle and subtlety, this remarkable residence is the epitome of ingenuity in design.
