EDITOR'S LETTER

QUICK GLANCE AT OUR CITY’S SKYLINE REMINDS ONE OF THE VERTICAL AND horizontal expansion happening all around us. Hotels, apartments, restaurants, and possibly even sports facilities abound and are (re)shaping our daily lives, commutes, and horizon. Certainly it’s not all good, but I am eternally optimistic about Austin’s growth and quite frankly have seen the alternative and it is not something I wish for our city. So, yes, these buildings, and the people who design and create them, have real power: the power to engage and include, form new patterns, and possibly even reanimate old traditions. This is what we choose to highlight in our annual architecture issue. The Line hotel is a perfect example of such an opportunity. Opened in the ’60s as the Crest Inn and more recently as The Radisson, the beautiful mid-century building has been given new life thanks to Michael Hsu and his team. Years of poor design decisions had led to what was a fairly average, if ever-present, structure standing tall at Cesar Chavez and Congress Avenue. Thanks to writer Nicole Beckley, photographer Chase Daniel, and the Austin History Center we were able to tell the story of this hotel (“Walking the Line”), which stands as a testament to Austin’s past, present, and future. Of course, you don’t need to have the name recognition of a Michael Hsu or a major hotel chain as a client in order to be making an impact architecturally. Camille Jobe and Ada Corral are cleverly and beautifully solving problems for their clients — one of which is now the City of Austin and The Trail Foundation. The business partners, who, unbelievably, first met as neighbors in the Delwood pocket of Austin (“Community First”), approach each new space with an eye for preservation. And throughout all this design innovation no man or woman is an island, which the group highlighted in Brittani Sonnenberg’s “Solid Foundations” has proved time and again over the past 10-plus years. The group of friends, who first met in their undergrad days at The University of Texas, continue to work together and support one another in big and small ways. Whether it’s showing up for a toddler’s backyard birthday party or collaborating on new designs, these friends and up-and-coming architects and designers are certainly ones to keep an eye on. The following pages are most definitely the result of a team effort. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the crew it took to capture the stunning Roland Roessner home featured in Anne Bruno’s “Mid-Modern Life.” The original owner, Suzy Lindeman Snyder, who worked side by side with Roessner to design the space, and her daughter Anne Wheat, gave us access to not only their memories but dozens of family photos. The photos reveal the home’s thoughtful design and how beautifully the current owner, horticulturalist Laurie Humphreys, has adapted the space for modern living. The three women have become friends, and Humphreys carries on the neighborhood ice-cream socials that Snyder and her family once hosted. Somehow Leonid Furmansky captured all of these equally important strands, allowing us to share both the space itself and the meaning it has held for its residents and neighbors since first built in 1960.

VECTORS By Kristin Armstrong Illustration by Kristin Moore

No one would ever attempt to build a house or a building by just showing up, dumping some concrete on the ground, and hammering some boards together. No way. Months, sometimes even years, are spent in the planning phase, looking at the topography of the land, drafting architectural plans and renderings, considering the foundation, the beams, the framing, the safety of the structure, the view, the light, the design, and the materials. It takes vision and patience to create something safe, beautiful, and lasting. Yet how often do we show up in our own lives without a plan? I have an old priest friend, and I remember when he spoke about vectors. He said that if we don’t know where we are going, it’s quite certain we will never get there. He compared it to the way a pilot needs a f light plan and said we humans need to chart our life course as well. The thing about vectors is that if we are just a few degrees off course, we will land far from our intended destination. Small degrees yield a widely different arc. I actually really liked geometry, so this image and the metaphorical meaning it applies to life registered in my brain and I never forgot it.

I like the idea of knowing where I ultimately want to go and stopping periodically to check my vectors. My spiritual mentors talk about meditation and how important it is to visualize the life we want, and specifically sit with those thoughts and desires and emotionally charge them with our feelings. Especially powerful charges are things like excitement, hope, love, gratitude, and a yearning to serve others. Desire is fully manifested when we link our attention to our intention. This is like the builder who has a plan. With a vision of what we ultimately want to build, it’s much easier to bring that dream to fulfillment. So the time we spend in our workroom (our hearts and minds) is everything. Today life is fast, life is full, and life is noisy. Everywhere we look, something is demanding and distracting our attention. Watch the way you respond when your phone beeps, buzzes, or rings. We drool and wag like Pavlov’s dogs. We run down the rabbit trail of urgency rather than pursue the path of importance. It’s hard to pause long enough to make time for dreaming, visualizing, or checking our vectors. But this is absolutely essential. It is also essential to understand that reali-

zation depends upon giving away the thing we want the most. This is so counterintuitive that I fought it for over a decade. If we want financial freedom and abundance, we have to be generous. If we want empathy and connection, we have to show up for other people in their pain. If we want success in our careers, we have to mentor others and share our gifts. If we want advancement, we must contribute to and celebrate the achievements of another. If we want a promotion, we have to credit our team. If we want forgiveness and mercy, we have to first press through our resentment and extend it to someone else. If we want to feel beautiful, we have to honor the beauty in nature, art, and in other people. If we want to feel valuable, we have to value others. If we want patience, we must endure suffering and waiting. If we want courage, we must be willing to be vulnerable. If we want victory, we must try hard enough to risk failure. If we want to love, we must be willing to suffer loss. If we want faith, we have to relinquish control and trust in something bigger than ourselves. If we want joy, we have to be joyful. If we want freedom, we must grant it to others and slowly, mindfully, learn to let go.

“IF WE WANT VICTORY, WE MUST TRY HARD ENOUGH TO RISK FAILURE.”

COMMUNITY PROFILE

COMMUNITY FIRST THESE ARCHITECTS SHARE A BUSINESS, A STREET, AND A DESIGN SENSIBILIT Y THAT ADAPTS TO THEIR CLIENTS’ NEEDS By Margaret Williams Photographs by Holly Cowart and Casey Woods

Ada Corral and Camille Job, shown with their families, in front of Ada’s home. The owners of Jobe Corral Architects live just down the street from one another.

DA CO R R A L A N D C A M I L L E J O B E , P R I N C I PA L S A N D

co-founders of Jobe Corral Architects, describe their neighboring homes as the Twin Houses. The two homes do in fact have quite a lot in common: Set just a few houses apart on the same street, both are low-slung one-story concrete block homes that have natural light streaming through their original casement windows. So, yes, there are similarities, but as with any space the details reveal a fuller picture. Jobe, a Corpus Christi native who has been a practicing architect for 20 years, is an avid cook whose kitchen is not only the centerpiece of the house but also the bridge that connects the home’s original footprint to its later addition. Corral, a graduate from the University of Texas’ architecture program and the mother of three young children (two of them twins), has created a home that skillfully surprises. Upon first entering Corral’s home, the 1940s outline seems unchanged, but a turn past the kitchen and din-

ing room reveals an entirely new space centered around a play space for her children and a master suite for her and her husband. In fact both homes were so thoughtfully adapted that the Twin Houses recently received a Preservation Austin addition award. It makes sense that these homes, set in the Delwood neighborhood, speak volumes about the type of architects Jobe and Corral are, since they are also the way they met and became friends and, eventually, business partners. “A lot of people can’t see what they can do with these little houses,” Corral explains. Jobe follows, saying, “Our houses can be an example of how to do it … you don’t have to demolish them.” The AIA-certified architects, whose work ranges from an entirely new and modern build in South Austin, to an inventive and playful treehouse, to the upcoming and most recent Lady Bird Lake restroom project, want to offer their clients solutions for the way they really live, whatever that means. We sat down with the architects and friends to find out how exactly they met, what their relationship means for both their work and their families, and what projects the women have on their horizon. When and how did you two meet? Were you really neighbors first? CORR AL: We met in the neighborhood after a colleague told me about this other architect that lived down the street. Later Patton [Jobe’s youngest son] and Orlando [Corral’s oldest child] were in preschool together. I reached out to Camille in 2012, soon after starting my business, because I needed help with the business side of things. Camille had wanted someone to discuss ideas with also. We had both found it difficult to work in isolation, so we started having coffee and helping each other out. That eventually led to

finding office space together and more collaboration that later turned into officially merging our businesses five years ago. JOBE: That pretty much covers it!

We are the organizers of the team, the coordinators of the work, and the grease that keeps the wheels turning. It means a better product in the end. CORR AL: Early on we discovered that we had How did you decide to start a business togethvery similar design sensibilities but very different er? Pros and cons to living next door to your skill sets. Discussing projects, running ideas by each other, and combining our different areas of expertise made all our projects The Jobe Corral designed Elm Street Solarium stronger. It was also easier to start hiring people and growing our business by sharing the expenses and responsibilities. In fact our first employee, Sarah Haf ley, who is still working with us, worked for both of our separate companies before we were officially Jobe Corral Architects. But since we are neighbors we try to strike a balance between the personal and the professional. We spend a lot of time together but also are respectful of each other’s own time.

friend and business partner. JOBE: We are both very pro-collaboration. We have a list of ideas that we wrote up soon after deciding to join forces, and one thing stuck out: “Collaboration is not about gluing together existing egos. It’s about the ideas that never existed until everyone entered the room.”

What drew you to your home and the Delwood neighborhood? CORR AL: We loved our neighborhood as soon as we first drove in. There are huge trees framing the entrance, and the houses are very simple. A clean canvas is an architect’s dream. I grew up in Puerto Rico, where most construction is made out of concrete blocks, so finding a concrete block house felt like home. JOBE: Simple, clean lines — the steel windows and lack of trim details were very appealing. The location was also a big selling point, since I spend a lot of time at the Waller Creek Boathouse and I needed to be close. Almost all of the homes in the neighborhood are one-story concrete block houses, usually around 1,000 square feet, with stucco on the interior, the exterior, and the ceilings. tribeza.com

COMMUNITY PROFILE

How have you adapted your home through the years? CORR AL: Our house was great for Matthew [Corral’s husband] and I before we had kids, and even with one kid, but the two bedrooms and one bathroom quickly became too small after the twins came along. First we renovated the original part of the home, which included uncovering and restoring the original parquet floors, resurfacing the fireplace, and remodeling the kitchen and bathroom. Once we could no longer handle one bathroom for five people, we finalized our plans for an addition that had been in progress for a decade. Ten years after we purchased the house, in 2005, we broke ground. We love that we were able to maintain the character of the old house, with a modest addition that fits our needs, that is in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. JOBE: The houses were all built in the 1940s. People lived very differently back then. Our house didn’t originally have a dining area outside of the kitchen, the kitchen was very small, and there wasn’t a connection to the

backyard from the living spaces. The only back door went through the garage. When we did our addition, it was all about making the house livable for a modern family without destroying the character of the house and the neighborhood. How does the way you live inform your design for clients’ homes? CORR AL: Having gone through the process of adding to and renovating our own homes allows us to better speak to our clients about the process, the things that worked and even the things we regret or wished we had done differently. In terms of design, we really want the way our clients live, rather than the way we live, to inform the design of their home. We want to offer the solution for the way they want to live. JOBE: Because we are always working on the homes and workplaces of others, we are always observing, critiquing, and analyzing. We are always looking for better ways to design for the way our clients want to live. My husband and I, and our whole family, love to cook and entertain. Those experiences inform my design. What projects are you working on currently? Anything especially exciting or challenging you can share? JOBE: We are very excited to be working on a restroom project along the Butler Trail on Lady Bird Lake. Our clients are The Trail Foundation and The Parks and Recreation Department. It is the fourth restroom on the series, but the first one on the East Side, and the first by a women-owned firm.

FAR LEFT: Camille’s home, along with Ada’s, was part of a recent Preservation Austin award. ABOVE: Camille’s modern patio addition served as the perfect backdrop for a conversation between the two architects.

These are all unique and sculptural projects and on a very beautiful site. Ours will be on Festival Beach. The schematic design was just revealed to the public, and construction should start in early 2019. CORR AL: We are reinterpreting the materials of an existing old restroom on the site that the neighbors are fond of, and we will have a colorful, undulating glazed-tile roof, which allows for wind and light to move through the building. It is both exciting and a challenge to have basically all of Austin as our potential end user. We get to design something that will be used by the Austin community and contribute to our city.

AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO WHAT’S BUZ ZING AROUND AUSTIN By Nicole Beckley

Honor Roll

Concluding their series of roundtables for the year, Women in Architecture, a committee of AIA Austin, will host the Honor Awards in November. The group works to create opportunities for connection and development for women excelling in the architecture and design fields, and the awards highlight firms and individuals for their significant contributions to the profession. AIAAUSTIN.ORG

Press PRINT One of the buzziest brands at this year’s SXSW festival wasn’t an app or device. It was a 3D-printed home from Icon. That particular home served as a sample of what Icon is working to iterate, a one-story, 600- to 800-square-foot space that can be printed in under 24 hours with a price tag around $4,000. The future just may be a tiny home you print yourself. ICONBUILD.COM

“Branding and architecture and personality and work atmosphere, all those things have to merge properly together,” explains Mark Odom. As the founding principal of Mark Odom Studio, he’s recently tackled work spaces like the Bumble headquarters and dining spaces like Rosewood. With the opening of the Seaholm district’s Generator Athlete Lab, the challenge was to figure out how to let the building’s existing industrial components mix with a modern atmosphere. “It’s such a beautiful space, the power plant,” Odom says. “And so anytime you mix old with new, how do you do that appropriately?” Working with limitations — a partnership between developers and the city of Austin called for public viewing space of the power plant — Odom worked with Generator’s founders, Jessica Tranchina and Delfin Ward, to realize a clean space for the lab’s training and treatment facility. “This is their first shop, of many I hope,” Odom says.

SOCIALLY ENGAGING OBJECTS AND ENVIRONMENTS

Tamie Glass is an associate professor and director of the Interior Design Program at The University of Texas at Austin. She is an advocate for human-centered design education across campus and contributes to university-wide initiatives focused on bridging disciplines through design thinking. Within the School of Architecture, she teaches a wide range of design studios and lecture courses. Tamie Glass holds a Master of Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon and a Bachelor of Environmental Design from Texas A&M University. She began her career in Germany where she worked with Daimler’s Corporate Identity Design team, followed by practice in London with internationally renowned design firms Virgile and Stone and Conran and Partners. In addition to her academic role, she maintains an award-winning design consultancy in Austin, Texas. As a practitioner and educator, Tamie Glass aims to expand the role and enhance the perception of interior design through her research, which focuses on designing for human behavior and experience. She explores the methods used by designers to instill intangible qualities into the built environment with an emphasis on the positive impact of carefully considered spatial conditions. She is the recipient of the 2018 ASID Nancy Vincent McClelland Award which recognizes lasting and significant contributions to the body of knowledge that supports the interior design profession.

A NEW BLUEPRINT

Birkhäuser Basel

In 2016, Tim Brown Architecture launched Perch Plans, a way to deliver customized home design through accessible house plans. Those looking to build a house can choose one of their styles, like the smaller-scale Brune, a take on a countryside home, or the Senepol, a version of a large modern farmhouse with a three-car garage, among others, and use it as the blueprint to building a uniquely tailored residence. The plans provide a jumping-off point to working with their architectural team to modify the designs for additional customization. PERCHPL ANS.COM 21.05.18 20:50

While in architecture school, Tamie Glass realized she was most interested in buildings’ internal architecture. “I found that it was the spaces inside that were most compelling to me because that’s the part of the building architecture that we actually engage with the most and where we spend such a significant amount of our time,” Gla ss says. After earning degrees from Texas A&M and the University of Oregon, and working in identity design for Daimler in Germany, Glass came to teach interior design at UT Austin. In her new book, “Prompt: Socially Engaging Objects and Environments,” she examines 36 projects and how those spaces shape people’s behaviors and interactions. Glass wants to look at what spaces actually do for us, “how they help facilitate the time we spend in them, the activities, the interactions, how they support relationships with other people or personal growth … I think we sometimes don’t talk enough about that, and so the book is dedicated to just that.” TAMIEGLASS.COM

BUILDING Blocks “I instinctively think about problems spatially. Architecture is about synthesizing a lot of disparate things into one beautiful functional object,” architect René Graham says. When it came to creating Renzoe Box, a modular makeup carrying case, applying a space-driven solution to the typical messy makeup bag made perfect sense. “To me, it is architecture,” Graham says. Launched in a crowdfunding campaign in August, the compact box accommodates multiple “pods” for eyeshadows and blush, storage for brushes, and an area for longer tubes of items like mascara or eyeliner.

MUSIC PICK

Too Many Zooz By Neal Baker

ANTONE’S NIGHTCLUB, OCTOBER 19

The bigger the ruckus, the bigger the tip. Or so it has worked out for New York City trio Too Many Zooz. Getting their start as buskers in the subway system, the band’s sound is the product of a couple of horns and a pretty big drum. Playing a dirty mash of dance and funk that they like to call “brass house,” Too Many Zooz exist to remind us that you don’t need a big band to make a heck of a lot of noise. It’s their personalities as much as their music that make them remarkable, with David Parks’ unbreakable focus on his stuck-together drums, Matt Muirhead’s contrasting cool demeanor and brash trumpet sounds, and saxophonist Leo Pellegrino’s hyperactive footwork and constantly evolving hair colors. Their early underground performances were recorded by strangers, amassing millions of views on their own and giving them an unexpected break. By now, Too Many Zooz is one of New York City’s worst-kept secrets, and they’ve left Union Square to tour behind two studio records. On October 19 they land at Antone’s Nightclub. Even though their music is crafted for the train platform (they’re clearly still sticking to this judging by the title of their more recent album, “Subway Gawdz”), their presence under concert lights is unthinkably funky and electric. When you go, just be sure to tip the guitarist on the sidewalk outside—maybe he’ll be the next to make it big.

Steve Parker By Neal Baker BIG MEDIUM GALLERY, OCTOBER 19 - NOVEMBER 18

Focusing on multifaceted projects, installations, and performances, Steve Parker’s work ranges from zany to mysterious to quietly thoughtful. He works in a diverse array of crafts, having spliced together brass instruments, written a quartet for choreographed speaker drones, and engineered an interactive digital auditory landscape mapped to the city of Austin. While his compositions and auditory creations are sometimes performed by hired talent, it’s just as likely that the viewer or passerby will become part of the ensemble. His diversity of creation is rooted in a diversity of inspiration, as can be seen in one of his handdrawn programs or collected on his Instagram feed. He has displayed an affinity for World War II-era listening devices with his interactive “Tubascopes”; he has speculated about the result of a collaboration between Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, and Frank Zappa with his “Lo-Fi Cycle”; and he has done his best to learn from Austin wildlife in “Grackle Call” and “Bat//Man.” Now, after having put together one unique project after another, Parker is being recognized by Big Medium in its second annual granting of the Tito’s Prize, which comes along with a $15,000 award and solo exhibition at Big Medium. Parker will be adapting his eclectic style of creation for a more traditional exhibition space, and his show will open in Big Medium’s gallery on October 19, where it will stay through the East Austin Studio Tour.

Texas Book Festival By Avery Tanner VARIOUS LOC ATIONS IN AND AROUND THE C APITOL , OCTOBER 27 & 28

There’s nothing quite like holding a book in your hands, flipping through the pages, and being taken on a literary journey. Though we live in a constant state of hustle and bustle, reading remains a window into the greater world around us. The Texas Book Festival takes over the Capitol and its surrounding environs on October 27 and 28 to celebrate the written word, bringing notable authors from both near and far to Austin. This year’s lineup includes former White House photographer Pete Souza and former president of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards, as well as local favorites like Helen Thompson and Casey Dunn. The two-day festival also includes a number of signings, cooking demonstrations, and activities for children. Most events are free, with proceeds from books sold during the festival benefitting the Reading Rock Stars program and the Library Grants initiative. The mission of the Texas Book Festival is to promote a love of reading with people of all ages. With its long-standing status as one of the most prestigious book festivals in the country, the fest highlights local authors while celebrating some of the best-known writers of our time. The perfect place for Austin book lovers to unite!

The newly designed lobby of the Line Hotel. The planters intentionally reference the shape of a bullet. The design “is inspired by a nod at what Texas used to be, which is a frontier space, and it’s a way to twist that around and turn it into something different, something that plants grow in instead.” — Michael Hsu tribeza.com | OCTOBER 2018 61

alk into the Line hotel on a given Friday afternoon and just beyond the concrete columns, beneath the rough, textured ceilings and hanging planters, excited travelers and their friends gather, those who know something of Austin or who want to visit the Austin they’ve heard about. Rolling suitcases prowl the extended lobby, navigating the various seating areas that offer an eclectic mix of patterns, an intentional nod to Austin’s eclectic history. If there’s a feeling of coolness to being in this prime downtown spot, with its pale-pink walls, dark floors, and tranquil lake views, it’s by design. When the building first opened, on the corner of Congress Avenue and what was then First Street, now Cesar Chavez, its grand opening on January 23, 1966, was announced with 12 pages in the Austin American-Statesman. Opened as Wilbur Clark’s Crest Hotel, the structure was an efficient example of the modernist architecture of the time, with a

few signature features. Texas architect A. Carroll Brodnax, designed a 12-story, 310-room structure, which included three indoor pool suites (“the Crest Hotel chain’s trademark”) and the building’s exterior window arches, meant to block the sun and provide shade. Inside, the hotel boasted an Old World Spanish influence, with terrazzo floors, dark wood, Spanish oil paintings, and a gold-leaf ceiling. Burnt-orange and gold colors accented the hotel’s corridors. Heavy paneled double doors opened into the Seville dining room, seating 90, and an auditorium that could accommodate 500. But the real highlight was the hotel’s location on the edge of Town Lake, with Congress Avenue and the Capitol in clear view. Fast-forward half a century. Purchased from

Radisson in 2016, the hotel recently reopened as a Sydell Group property, in an extension of the Line brand, whose other outposts include spots in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., after undergoing a thorough renovation, which, in a way, helped return the building to its roots. “Its location here in Austin was really underappreciated,” architect Michael Hsu explains. “It was a huge deal, and then it sort of fell out of favor, became a building people sort of looked past or, even worse, didn’t really like at all.” Michael Hsu Office of Architecture (MHOA), along with L.A.-based Knibb Design, made plans to maximize the hotel’s location and its foundational structure. “The current building codes wouldn’t allow you to actually modify the building a lot,” Hsu says. “So a lot of it was about stripping away layers of additions and remodels that the building had seen.” The design team went back to basics and focused on natural elements. “We talked a lot about being on the city edge, the lake, and drawing a lot from some of the natural forms and textures and colors,” says Maija Kreishman, a partner at MHOA. They looked to features of Austin for their color palette, finding inspiration in the greenery of Hamilton Pool, the blues of Barton Springs, geological pinks, the black darkness of caves, Hill Country oak trees, and, being on Congress Avenue, the bats. And they worked to visually reconnect the hotel to the lake. “In the old hotel, [when] you walked in, you didn’t even see the lake at all. There was no connection whatsoever,” Hsu says. They cleared the sightlines and opened up the hotel’s pool more to the lake as well, outlining the poolside space with rough slatted wood and adding a pop of color with orange plaid umbrellas. Inside, with the textured natural-colored curtains pulled back, diners in the Arlo Grey restaurant have views of both spaces. While sitting at gray marble tabletops or lounging on tufted couches in Top Chef winner Kristen Kish’s restaurant, patrons can look out at paddleboarders or turn their attention to their drinks, mixed behind a large black wood bar. The sleek central bar was built by Wimberley-based furniture maker Michael Wilson.

” “Even though it’s a large place, I think it still has the vibe you might get when you go to someone’s house,” Hsu says. “It feels very personal. You can connect with people. That’s why you see a lot of the layering of furniture, layering of styles, colors. This is not what I’d call a one-note hotel.” There was also a desire to use the lobby areas to communicate a sense of history. Just past the main entrance, a large circular ottoman and various patterned chairs give a nod to the 1960s. “[It’s] sort of playing off lobby history, formality, Lady Bird — the very stately icon — and then the building itself, which is born of that particular time,” designer Sean Knibb says. Closer to the check-in desk, a concrete, stairstepped fireplace takes its cues from Italian contemporary brutalist architect Carlo Scarpa. Notes of brutalism play out throughout the hotel in found concrete moments, echoing those of the Line’s L.A. hotel. “We didn’t bring it in [to the Austin hotel], to be honest. It was already there. We just didn’t cover it up,” Knibb says. The overall effect of the design elements is a subtle complexity — the dark and the light, the rugged textures offset by an abundance of hanging brass and copper planters and strategically placed

fiddle-leaf fig trees. “Part of the paradox of Austin that we love, having lived here, is that there are contradictory things — we love refinement, but we also love roughness. We love grit and we love sophistication. We love beauty, but we’re also quite happy looking at landscapes that are in a way brutal and maybe a little hard,” Hsu says. “Contradictory things, paradoxical things — that’s what makes the city thrive and interesting.” That ethos extends to the hotel’s 428 guest rooms as well. Graded blue hallway carpet and dark-blue walls carry the natural feeling of flowing water to the rooms’ entrances. Sandblasted plywood headboards support soft, low beds. Large windows to the south give open views of kayakers traversing the lake and, to the north, pedestrians — tourists and businesspeople — navigating toward Congress Avenue. “One of the things I love about Austin and people who want to visit here is they come and feel like they really want an authentic experience of what Austin is,” Hsu says. “I think it’s our job to really figure out what the future of the city looks like through these types of projects, taking old things and really reinterpreting and reintroducing them to a completely different audience.”

LIFE A Roland Roessner home sets the stage for creativity and community BY ANNE BRUNO PHOTOGRAPHS BY LEONID FURMANSKY

ruise Balcones Drive and the surrounding neighborhood and it doesn’t take an architectural historian to pick out the mid-century modern beauties holding their own amid all the new-home construction. What you can see driving past — large expanses of glass with cantilevered covered porches and natural elements of limestone and wood — are hallmarks of the style, making these homes feel somehow vintage, modern, and timeless all at once. But it’s the unseen elements that tell the story of how these structures came to be and the people who love them, the primary reason many of Roessner’s houses still survive and shine. In 1959 Suzy Lindeman Snyder and her late husband, Jim Lindeman, contracted with architect Roland G. Roessner to build a home for their family on a cul-de-sac in the new Balcones Park neighborhood near Mount Bonnell. Roessner, like many of his contemporaries, was a World War II veteran and the art and architecture he’d seen in other parts of the world influenced his work. He had been recruited to teach at the University of Texas in 1948, when the architecture program was still part of the College of Engineering. Over the next 30 years at UT, he became one of the School of Architecture’s most notable professors, being one of the few to meld his academic career with a vibrant private practice, to the benefit of students and clients alike. Along the way, his work earned numerous professional awards as well as public recognition. In 1955, a Roessner-designed home on Balcones (one that is, sadly, no longer standing) was

named Newsweek magazine’s House of the Year. Almost 55 years after the house was built, when Laurie Humphreys purchased it, the same details the Lindemans loved about the home’s design spoke to Humphreys’ own aesthetic. A UT graduate of art history and an accomplished landscape architect with a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Humphreys says, “The first time I drove up and saw it — before I even got out of the car — I said, ‘This is it.’”

Many of the home’s original architectural features, like the stone and steel fireplace, remain untouched.

Roessner was particularly adept at connecting the inside of a house to its outside surroundings. The home’s layout and abundance of windows invite natural light in, while protecting the privacy of its occupants. The first steps inside reveal an unobstructed view to a porch running the length of the back of the house and a sloping yard below. Here, Humphreys’ horticultural talents come to life with a lush forest of potted plants on the porch and a tranquil, meadow-like feel to the backyard. At the time the home was built, Roessner’s design was neither flashy nor trendy, but it was definitely forward-thinking. For Suzy and Jim Lindeman, a very creative pair, the house reflected their own progressive ideals. Over the course of five decades, the home not only served as the headquarters for a very busy family of five, but also played host to meetings for a number of civic organizations like Austin Community Nursery Schools and the Women’s Symphony League. Here, adults and children alike were treated to stimulating conversation as well as music, art, and games. “I grew up always wanting to learn and do new

things, and things that help people,” says Lindeman Snyder, now in her early nineties and a well-known presence at Westminster Manor. “At the time I studied early childhood education at Skidmore College, it was a very new field. Early in my teaching career I even got chided for letting the nursery school children play too much! Can you imagine? Of course,” she adds, “eventually everyone understood just how important play is to a child’s development.” As Lindeman Snyder’s own children got older, nearly every inch of the home’s interior, including the first-level basement, as well as the driveway, front yard, backyard, and cul-de-sac, was put to use for all manner of gathering like Girl Scout meetings, puppet-making and puppet shows (on no less than a full-size stage built by Suzy and Jim), and annual Christmas caroling parties. International students and businesspeople visiting Austin were also regulars; Lindeman Snyder’s penchant for bringing people together was publicly recognized in 1963 by the Austin American-Statesman, when she was named Austin Hostess of the Year.

Original owner, Suzy Lindeman Snyder, shares photos and memories with current owner, Laurie Humphreys.

While every event hosted by the Lindemans (and later by Suzy and Bryan Snyder, whom Suzy married after Jim passed away) made people smile, one that Humphreys has carried on is the ice-cream social. According to Humphreys, it was practically inevitable that she revive the tradition, which some of the neighbors still remember. “It’s one of the things my neighbors on the block told me about when I moved in,” says Humphreys, a Waco native who returned to Texas from Pennsylvania after more than 20 years away. “Like Suzy, I love the idea of making sure everybody knows each other — just taking time to visit outside for a while,” she says. “I think it’s so important.” Since moving into the house in 2014, Humphreys has hosted several ice-cream socials in her front yard, bringing in Amy’s Ice Creams trucks for an updated twist on the original. As Lindeman Snyder tells it, the near-legendary ice-cream socials started when her son Jim had a paper route. “Since Jimmy was out delivering pa-

pers anyway, it seemed the easiest way to spread the word was to just have him deliver invitations to everyone on the paper route. Back then,” she adds, “everybody took the paper. So that’s how we did it, and anyone who wanted to come was always welcome. The parents came, the children came — just about everyone in the neighborhood or anyone who was walking nearby!” Not surprisingly, it was an event held at the house that brought original and current owner together. Unbeknownst to Humphreys, one of the attendees at a board meeting she hosted in her home is a friend of Lindeman Snyder’s youngest daughter, Anne Wheat. Wheat tells the story of how all the pieces came together: “My friend, who happens to be an architectural historian, was telling me about a beautiful house he’d been to and how it was a wonderful example of mid-century modern architecture. As he described the details, tears came to my eyes when I realized he was talking about the house I grew up in.”

Since the connection was made, Lindeman Snyder and Humphreys have developed a friendship and discovered even further common bonds. Last month, Humphreys hosted a luncheon for Lindeman Snyder. Among the guests were Lindeman Snyder’s daughters and former Balcones Park neighbors, many of whom also live at Westminster Manor. “I love having Suzy come over and tell me stories about what the neighborhood was like when they first built this house,” Humphreys says. “I hope I have half the energy she does when I’m her age!” Today, the neighborhood is one of Austin’s most beautiful, the mature trees that were young saplings when the Lindemans built their home now shading the winding streets and graceful lawns. As far as the ice-cream socials go, there’s no plan to stop anytime soon. Says Lindeman Snyder, “I really believe the world would be a better place if we had more ice-cream socials.” Laurie Humphreys couldn’t agree more. tribeza.com

The group of long time friends and collaborators gather in the Brykerwoods backyard of Nick and Brittany Hunt.

eople love the myth of the lone genius, but a peek behind the curtain suggests that most geniuses lean heavily on their support networks. Sherlock had Watson. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (aka the Notorious RBG) had her late husband, Marty. James Beard had Julia Child, and Julia Child had James Beard. Successful creative relationships demand that you sometimes play the sidekick and sometimes the superhero. For a group of eight rising architects and designers in Austin, switching roles — from superhero to sidekick, from welder to project manager, from professor to architect to parent — is just part of the job. And if that juggling ever starts to feel overwhelming, there’s chilled white wine and laughter and friendships that began in UT architecture classes 10 years ago, connections that remain as inspiring and foundational as any designs sketched since. Architects Brittany and Nick Hunt hosted the latest group hang and invited Tribeza to sit in on the action. On a lovely weathered back porch in Bryker Woods, where a hammock swung lazily between two cedar elm trees, two toddlers chased each other, and two dogs eyed the charcuterie plate, a group of old friends reconnected as we listened and asked a few questions of our own. What follows are snippets from an evening’s musings on architecture, design, and the nature of creative collaboration.

NICK HUNT

Hunt Architecture (Architect and Co-founder) There’s something about the studio atmosphere in college architecture classes that fosters amazing friendships. I’m a relative latecomer to the group, which began at UT with my wife, Brittany, and her friends. Brittany and I met at an architecture firm in New York, and when we had Cooper [now 18 months old], we decided to move back to Austin. This group has been incredible for me. When I moved here, I lost my entire New York network, and knowing these guys has meant that I have access to vital local connections, from millworkers to contractors. In Austin, it’s not about competing with each other: Everyone does their own thing, and we all help each other out. I just started working on a project with Claire, and it’s a privilege to collaborate with friends whose work you deeply respect. We visit each other’s building sites and give feedback; we’re all doing wildly different things.

BRITTANY HUNT

Nick Hunt’s projects are often based in both Austin and New York City, like this renovation for a young couple living on Madison Avenue.

This fall will be my first semester teaching at UT. It feels like coming full circle to me. I’m the first of our group to go back to the classroom. The architecture profession doesn’t support mothers very well, and that kicks a lot of people out. I’m in a unique position because I can do my architecture work from home. At school, there were more women than men in our department, but in the workforce it flips back to an overwhelmingly male ratio. You have to be really committed to your career. I’ve been in love with the profession from an early age. It’s tough and time-consuming and requires a really thick skin. I was lucky to marry an architect who gets it, who’s my number one fan and a big part of my support system and an equal parent. As a woman, you have to ask for what you want in this field. I was upfront with my boss about needing more maternity leave. You learn to advocate for yourself in a profession where nobody else will. We don’t really discuss gender roles in this group; we’ve all been equally successful at different things. Will taught Meegan and me how to weld; nobody ever told us we couldn’t do something because of our gender. We offer each other feedback all the time and talk about our struggles. Dan has been so helpful in guiding Nick, and we all ask advice from each other all the time. This group is a big reason Nick and I moved back to Austin. After nine years in New York, with a kid and hungry to set up a practice in a supportive community, it was a no-brainer.

I met Brittany and Meegan on a welding project in 2008, when they showed up to help us do steelwork. The site was right next to the river, and after work we would kick back and drink beers by the water. I studied architecture and design, but I spent summers doing carpentry, and I think that tectonic background makes the rest of my work better. When you graduate in the middle of the recession, it serves you well to have options. It’s afforded me a lot of opportunities, from design to construction. I work better collaboratively: showing other people what I’m working on. I like to pull in friends to help on projects outside of my own expertise, and I’m helping Dan do carpentry work. We’re all trying to buy our own places and renovate them with each other’s help.

DAN FIELDS FKF Studio (Co-founder)

I’ve called Austin home for 18 years now. When most of my friends were moving to New York or Europe or grad school, I stayed in Austin because the city was growing in a way that I knew would work for a particular type of residential architecture. I wanted a chance to be a part of the creation and not just the maintenance of a great city. If I had to trace my friendship with [the] group to one person or event, I would give credit to our mutual friend Nick Rivard. Nick’s family own a gorgeous Lake Flato house on the Llano River in Mason. Nick would have these multiday parties that were like salons. Through these get-togethers at the ranch I’ve made some of the best friends of my life. We would talk, swim, potluck, fish, hike, drink, and just all around get a little weird. My firm, FKF Studio, is a partnership with Alex Finnell and Devin Keyes. I’ve known my partners both for about 16 years. We’re a design-build firm, meaning we are also contractors for our projects. We’re a “horse-first” firm. When we first started our practice four years ago, we would joke about people with fancy websites and no build work as cart-before-the-horse. We design everything from scratch, using a first-principals methodology. Architects Fields and Algood shown working together on Fields’ own home. tribeza.com

My uncle is an architect and I always wanted to grow up to do the same. After seeing my passion for making, drawing, etc., he suggested I opt for interior design instead. I’m currently working on The Common (a creative co-working space) with Nick. My favorite aspect of the project is the team! I’ve collaborated with Petrified Design, Lauren Cunningham (the client) and the construction company before and love them all. I love Nick as a person and so admire his work. So many good friends and great talent. Also it’s in my neighborhood – North Loop! The building has been empty since I moved in back in 2007. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.

I think going to school together cemented a certain sensibility for us. Our generation has different priorities, different ideas about design and sustainability that came from a focus on affordable housing and social responsibility at UT. You find those ideals in a university setting — architecture’s role in the public sphere— before they take hold in the industry itself. I’m excited now about a project I’m working on for HOPE Outdoor Gallery’s new space, at Carson Creek Ranch. It’s a moment to address civic engagement and what design can do to build community in a city.

I learned a ton studying architecture in undergrad; especially the pragmatic, functional influences of the field. After graduating, I spent some time just making things: doing welding and constructing, which was great for the rest of my work. Grad school at Yale was very eye opening, and offered me an even wider pool of influences, plus the chance to work with architects like Frank Gehry and Greg Lynn. I worked with Frank Gehry for three years, and slowly began to find ways to have more fun with architecture, to be less strict with myself. Of course it’s crucial that everything functions the right way, but it doesn’t have to fit a single aesthetic, and you can allow for wider influences. I began to let myself be led by fine art, sculpture, installations. Lots of things that weren’t architecture, per se—at least not what you’d see in a magazine. I increasingly found myself moved by the vernacular. Things that were designed, but not by architects. Little Cape Cod shacks on the water, dinky homes. Now it’s about finding a balance between sculpture, art, emotion and architecture. I’m drawn towards artists like Cy Twombly, Mark Rothko, Sol Dewitt, and Ellsworth Kelly. They each embrace a simple minimalism but aren’t afraid to take risks with color and emotion, and have a little fun.

MEEGAN BEDDOE

Andersson-Wise Architects (Project Architect) My range of work with Andersson-Wise is expansive, which has afforded me the opportunity to work on all scales of projects and typologies, from religious buildings that address issues of campus and community to residential projects where I can explore conditions of comfort and respite. Place defines a lot of our initial design process; taking advantage of prevailing breezes, framing views, and creating spaces with deep overhangs and shade to protect from the hot Texas sun are all driving forces behind our designs. For me, seeing a building go from drawings on a page to fully realized in the built environment is one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of architecture. Guiding clients and contractors through the construction phase is not always easy, but the collaborative nature of making a space that shapes people’s lives is incredibly rewarding. tribeza.com

As the sun sinks, Coop and Margot move inside to the playroom and launch what may grow into a lifelong interior-design collaboration, carefully moving chairs and toy blocks around without hitting each other or screaming. Like their parents, they play nice. Over by the picnic table out back, Johnny tells Dan about Hendrix Wall, a dry stack wall in Florence, Alabama, that one man built with all the limestone he could find in a five-mile radius (in addition to stones from more than 120 countries) as a memorial to the Trail of Tears that his grandmother had walked. “Can you imagine being that guy’s neighbor?” Dan jokes. “God damn it, I was about to build a patio, and you took all the limestone.” “Sorry, man, didn’t know you needed it,” Johnny, in character, quips back. Alice (Will’s wife and a designer herself ), Claire, Meegan, and Brittany confer briefly about next season’s jeans, then join the rest of the group in a debate on (architectural) design. From the road, the laughter ringing out from the back porch sounded like any other summer gathering. But who knows what ideas for tile in the master bath are slowly cohering, what creative collaborations are gelling, and what aesthetic innovations are emerging, soft and suggestive as the early evening’s late-August breeze.

The dining area is nestled into the angled home. Alter says the Henrys didn’t need a formal dining room but still desired something special within the large open-concept kitchen and living space. “We have this plush banquette inside the wall,” says Alter of the built-in bench. “It was a clever solution to make a space but still allow it to be handsome.”

t came as no surprise to learn that Kevin Alter, of architectural firm Alterstudio, has dabbled in ceramics. “I’ve had a former life as a potter, in college. I love when you take a piece off the wheel and your hand prints on it or you put it in the kiln and it shows flashes from the flames,” says Alter. “The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is a controlled serendipity.” The Sugar Shack home, named for the street on which the Westlake lot sits, is a flawless example of such a process. The building fits like a puzzle piece — slipping between trees and perching on stilts among the shifting elevation. It lies on the left side of the jagged property, its back end angled to cantilever over a large drop-off. Alter refers to these potential complications, like large live oaks and a full-blown cliff, as opportunities. “With our work, we begin by wondering what’s good about it and how do you make it better and how to suppress what could be problematic,” says Alter. “This little motion of cranking the plan keeps it with the contour of the land, and it also gives you a beautiful condition that when you’re upstairs, you’re either looking into the courtyard, which is a lovely little world, or into the tree canopy.” “We love the thoughtful way the house was designed with the lot’s topography,” says Katie Henry, who hired the firm with her husband, Stanton. “We knew we loved their aesthetic, so we just gave them some basic parameters and let them go to town on the design. I’d describe it as modern, with a slight nod to midcentury. It’s understated and unfussy, but when you get up close, you notice all the little design details that make it special.”

The master sits at the back of the house. In total, the home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The front door leads into the living space, which is furnished with a mix of new and vintage pieces. Katie says they wanted the style to be “sleek, but bright, warm, and comfortable, not sterile.” The ’60s-era sofa, which sat in the living room of Stanton’s grandmother, was reupholstered in a navy velvet geometric print. “I like a clean, neutral base, but sometimes that feels too cold in a modern design, so we warmed it up with color, texture, and pattern with the finishes and furnishings,” says Katie. “All of the natural sunlight also adds warmth and depth.” The full-length glass windows slide open to the courtyard.

Alter recognizes the necessary correlation between clean (i.e. uncluttered) living and storage space; with that in mind, much of the home’s storage is ample but subtle. This large piece of black steel in the living room disguises a closet. “[The metal] is not finished. It’s the way it came out of the factory. We just waxed it,” says Alter. There’s a raw power, he says, of using natural, often industrial-leaning materials in an unmanipulated state. “It’s about the engagement of mistakes,” says Alter. “It’s not striving for perfection but for a balance of happenstance and nature. I can’t do anything quite as beautiful as that, but I like to show it.”

Like a finely tailored suit, the simplicity of the home has everything to gain in the way it hangs just right on the Henry family. Though the building is modern, with clean lines of steel, cement, and fumed oak, its abstract qualities allow for the appreciation of patterns and pleasures of floor-to-ceiling windows and open-concept living. “The home is something special that came out of the partnership rather than us using them as a vehicle to make our art,” says Alter, who designed the project with the firm’s partners, Tim Whitehill and Ernesto Cragnolino, and project manager Daniel Shumaker. “We’re trying to build something that has a life of its own.”

The polished kitchen, which boasts a glass backsplash and a tucked-away pantry hidden on the right, has organizational features that Alter likes to include on the firm’s projects. The backsplash has a lower band that catches plugs. Similarly, a vertical steel stripe on the left wall holds all light switches, and a panel on the ceiling gathers all lighting. “We don’t want to sit a big, ugly faceplate on this beautiful wood wall,” says Alter.

N THEIR NEWEST BOOK, “TEX A S MADE/TEX A S MODERN: THE

House and the Land,” author Helen Thompson and photographer Casey Dunn capture the pioneering spirit of architects who combine 20th-century principles with the rugged practicality of sprawling ranch design. The book is the follow-up to “Marfa Modern,” where the duo went out to West Texas to discover the minimalist structures dotting that beautiful expanse of nothing. After that book became a fixture on good-looking coffee tables everywhere, the pair, who are old family friends from Austin, were eager to collaborate again. On a recent evening, we sat in Dunn’s newly built home in East Austin to discuss the evolution of “Texas modern” style and their quest to find the perfect corner of the world.

Pioneering Spirit

DOROTHY GUERRERO: So how did you two start working together in the first place? HELEN THOMPSON: I’d been working for a lot of magazines. And then suddenly it was Casey Dunn photographing it all. I had another book I had proposed, and I wanted Casey to shoot it, but I realized it involved too much traveling around. So we were sitting there and we said, “Well, where would we like to go? What would we really like to do?” And that’s when we decided — let’s do Marfa. CASEY DUNN: In the beginning we didn’t know if there was enough out there, but the fur-

ther it went along, it was like, there’s too much out here. DG: How did this second book come about? When did you realize Texas modern would be the next subject to tackle? HT: “Marfa Modern” actually was a much narrower narrative of modernism, modernism that fits into a place. So we realized that there was a larger story to be told about modernism that’s specific to Texas. We were looking at pictures Casey had taken and realized there was something bigger we could talk about. DG: In the acknowledgments you talk about

“Texan-ness” as a concept. What does that mean to you? HT: Well, modernism has been around for a hundred years. It made its way to Texas somewhat later, maybe in the ’20s and ’30s. And there were some Texas architects who felt that what we built here should be more specific, not that universal glass-box look that you see that is typically modern. Their views coincided with a renaissance of awareness about the state, and there was an artistic movement. The Dallas Nine [a group of artists working in Dallas in the 1930s and 1940s who were inspired by the Southwest landscape] were doing modern artwork, and something was also happening with architecture. They felt that we should be using our resources here, we should be doing modernism that fit with the climate. So what evolved can really be traced from O’Neil Ford in the early ’30s to the architects who are now emerging from Lake Flato. Not everybody is in the book, but it’s all directly from that one lineage. DG: Is there a common trait among the people who live in these homes? HT: They all like living gently on the land. This is all about sustainable architecture. It’s all about catching the breezes and not using materials that don’t really belong here or building houses that don’t really fit in the setting. CD: I’m always surprised by the range of people who own modern houses, and it’s the same in this book. Everyone was very — it wasn’t a similar type of person, but they all seemed to be inspired by Texas. HT: They like being outside. CD: And the landscape of Texas. DG: Did you all have a hard time narrowing the houses down? How did the selection process go? CD: I think we went through a couple rounds of revision in the beginning. It started with looking through stuff that I’d shot, and then Helen kind of came back with an idea that was like, This is the beginning of something. And then from that point we started to search out other homes. tribeza.com

HT: Which wasn’t hard to do. Casey sent me a lot of what he’d shot. We were originally going to do something about ranch houses. And then I started looking at those things, and I realized they were kind of emerging from O’Neil Ford’s brain from 1930, this whole look that we were liking. It had an aura to it. DG: On the flip side, is there such a thing as Texas modern gone wrong? CD: Let’s just put them on blast right here. HT: I don’t think — can you go wrong with Texas modern? I guess some lunatic could. CD: Yeah, if you let the landscape inform it and the site inform it, those are just good places to start. HT: I think the people who want these houses are thinking of the land, they’re thinking of the environment.They’re not thinking, I’m gonna make this the splashiest Texas modern house ever. DG: What are some of your favorite houses in the book? HT: That’s tough.

CD: You’re asking us to pick our favorite children! HT: I’ve always loved the Paul Lamb house. It’s very romantic. This is in Austin, and if you took all these materials away and did it in glass, it would be completely traditionally modern. But then he’s put reclaimed wood and fieldstone and suddenly it’s warm. All right, Casey. CD: Well, I have a few. I love the Hazelbaker Rush house, which is in El Paso, overlooking Juárez. To me, it was so unexpected. It’s so set into the landscape, and the rocks and the landscaping were beautifully integrated in the back. HT: I feel like it’s on the edge of the world, this house. CD: Yeah. The muhly grass was turning when we were there, and it looked unreal. When I was editing these, I had to pull back on the vibrancy because it was like, people will think this is fake. It’s all the things that Helen said. It’s just very visually compelling. DG: Is there a particular room featured in the book that you’d love to spend more time in? A special little nook?

CD: The Max Levy project in Dallas; I love Max Levy. His sensibility for designing with natural light is unmatched. His spaces are luminous. There is a room I love with wood slats in the book. In the morning there’s already soft and beautiful light, but at the point when the sun gets high in the sky, the light bounces around and comes through in a way that’s still soft. So, all day, the light has a quality that is either interesting or soft and quiet. It was really fun to photograph, and it would definitely be one of the places I’d like to spend more time in. HT: The Lake Flato house in Mill Spring — that’s got a nice nook. This whole house really was a riff off of an old dam that was already there on the property. DG: So will you guys do another book after this? HT: We’re working on one right now. DG: What’s it about? CD: It’s about a place called … HT: Santa Fe! Santa Fe modern. DG: Do you two, being so aesthetically inclined, obsess about the look and feel of these books? Do

you go back and forth about size, fonts, and paper style? HT: Well, this whole book, it’s like we’re three parts, equal parts. CD: That’s true. Our designer, Cody Haltom, is amazing. This was meant to be a companion to “Marfa Modern.” They’re the same size, shape. Some of that was already kind of informed by that first book. HT: The landscape in Texas is very hefty and rugged and “Marfa Modern” was more horizontal and finely textured. These books are very textural. I’ve been surprised at how many people mention that. I was thrilled that people noticed. DG: These things matter! HT: They do. DG: Casey, you recently went through a home build and design. What new perspective do you have now that you’re shooting other people’s homes? CD: I appreciate it 100 percent more. The level of problem-solving is so much more three-dimensional.

two-dimensional space. It’s also this mix between budget and aesthetics and the way you actually live. All these things are constantly at play, and at any given point you have to ask, What’s the higher priority? DG: Is your personal aesthetic pretty modern, Helen? In your home? HT: Comfortable. Just comfortable, I think. The house I live in now is pretty serene. It’s quiet. CD: Mmm hmm. Also, I think that if you’re building a house, the goal shouldn’t be to make something that’s on trend because hopefully you’re going to keep the thing for a long time. Good design principles and good, honest materials are the best route. HT: To me, this kind of architecture is full of joy. These guys were just realizing that Texas was cool. They were out here in the middle of nowhere, and people, I guess, thought we were hicks, or something. But they were discovering and were thrilled with what they were doing in literature and art and architecture. Houses that look like they belong where they are will always be in style.

This Side Up HOW ONE ROLLINGWOOD FAMILY’S BACK YARD IS THE PERFECT HOME FOR A SCULPTUR AL PL AYSCAPE

out from under a packing box. But when the person charged with bringing that sketch to life is Dave Kilpatrick, partner at Tim Cuppett Architects, the results are anything but slapdash. As Kilpatrick and his team were wrapping up the newly built, modern, art-filled home designed for Ricardo and Isabel Del Blanco, the homeowners asked for one last element: something in the backyard for the couple’s four kids and their friends. Kilpatrick, riffing off the couple’s tactile art collection, thought, “Man, that’s an opportunity to make a sculpture in the yard.” Tasked with the request and the couple’s one requirement — the structure had to also serve as a toy garage — Kilpatrick decided, “We ought to make a giant cardboard box. It’s the idea of the quintessential kids’ fort. It’s an upside-down box.”

“ M Y FAVOR IT E PA RT IS BEING U P HIGH .” — BENJA MIN, AGE 5 1/2

Kilpatrick knew he wanted to make the two-story fort out of cedar, since the material would eventually “silver out and become the color of a box,” but it took him a bit longer to come up with the fort’s other signature component, a large red stamp that reads “Hecho en Mexico.” Kilpatrick explains, “We started playing with how to reinforce the idea that it’s a box. At one point I had ‘Fragile’ spray-painted, and then we tried the international ‘This Side Up’ paired with a big arrow.” But Kilpatrick wanted something more personal, and since the couple is from Mexico and the phrase “Hecho en Mexico” is ever-present in their home country, he decided to stamp the symbol upside down, “reinforcing the idea that the box is flipped upside down.” Kilpatrick and the homeowners are all equally pleased with the final fort design (built by Risher Martin Fine Homes), which the architect describes as more object than building. But we were most curious about the fort’s smallest critics. What did Ricardo and Isabel’s oldest kids, five-and-a-half-yearold twins Benjamin and Santiago, have to say about their newest backyard staple? We quizzed the boys about the fort as their younger brother, Pablo and neighborhood friends madly dashed up and down and in and out of the inventive space. “My favorite part is being up high.” proclaimed Benjamin. tribeza.com

Marrakech DUE E AST’S MOLLIE BROWN TAKES US INTO THE HE ART OF MOROCCO

By Hannah Morrow Photographs by Holly Cowart and Kate Zimmerman Turpin Marrakech is a place of tactile exploration. Narrow passageways weave like veins through the dreamy city, seated in western Morocco, connecting its mosques, palaces, gardens, and souks — the picturesque marketplaces that act like arteries of artisanal tradition. In these souks, thumbing through textiles and handwoven rugs, you’ll find Mollie Brown, founder of Austin’s own Due East. The Texas native first came to Marrakech in 2016 with her husband to visit friends. Brown fell fast for the culture, the people, and the markets that brimmed with local craftsmanship. “There is so much magic in Marrakech, and the heart of it is in the medina, which dates to the 10th century,” says Brown. “The contagious energy, the vibrant colors, and the artistry steeped into every corner are inspiring to even the most well-traveled.” Brown founded Due East, an ethical importer that brings authentic Moroccan designs and goods to Texas buyers, last year. The business’ name is inspired by the fact that Morocco lies at the same latitude as our state. “I’ve made a business out of sourcing beautiful things in and out of the souks and have created wonderful relationships in Morocco that are the foundation of Due East,” says Brown. “The people of Morocco are continuously welcoming. They are gracious hosts, and so many of them are invested in nurturing the traditions and artistry of their ancestors.” Here, we’ve invited Brown, who was in Morocco last month on a sourcing trip for Due East’s fall/ winter collection, to share her picks from the former imperial city.

Brown started Due East after a trip to Morroco in 2016. She now visits a few times a year to source textiles, leather goods and home accessories.

The exquisite interiors are a modern and fresh take on traditional Moroccan decor and architecture. Each room is impeccably decorated to leave every guest feeling inspired and energized. Don’t miss watching the sunset on the roof.”

TO SEE

The best advice I ever received was that on your first venture into the souks, don’t buy anything! It’s easy to get overwhelmed and intrigued, but to really be smart in shopping, you should get a feel for what the souks have to offer first and then go back the next day. Don’t be afraid to barter, and never pay more than you’re comfortable with, because it’s most likely overpriced! 114 OCTOBER 2018 |

“Have lunch at La Famile or Nomad. Both restaurants have a casual and alfresco atmosphere; fresh, locally inspired food, plus small shops to peruse if there is a wait — or even if there isn’t.”

ABOVE: A scene from one of Marrakech’s many souks.

ABOVE: Shtatto restaurant. BELOW: A coffee break at Nomad.

“After scouring the souks for rugs and goodies, take a break at Shtatto for a juice or coffee on the roof while you take in the view of the Atlas Mountains over the rooftops of the medina. Be sure to stop at each floor on your way up, which include local shops and even a quirky retro barbershop.”

TO RESTORE

You can’t leave Morocco without treating yourself to a hammam. Rooted in Islamic cleansing rituals, frequent visits to the local hammam is a part of almost every Moroccan’s life. At Les Bains de Marrakech, you’ll experience three of the main elements of the hammam treatment: cleansing, exfoliating, and the washing. Some hammams are still heated by hand. In the picture you can see this man throwing sawdust and paper onto the fire to heat the water for his local hammam. 116 OCTOBER 2018 |

Cookbook Bar & Cafe By Karen Spezia Photographs by Holly Cowart

NE OF THIS YEAR’S MOST SURPRISING AND DELIGHTFUL

new restaurants is in a library. You heard me right: Cookbook Bar & Cafe sits on the first f loor of downtown’s gleaming new central branch. And if the architecturally stunning space isn’t reason enough to check out the library’s new digs, Cookbook Cafe offers another great excuse to hustle over. There’s a lot to love about Cookbook. First of all, it looks great. The restaurant is surrounded by soaring glass windows that frame downtown’s evolving cityscape: shiny new skyscrapers, beautifully landscaped Shoal Creek and dramatic works of public art. The airy interior, designed by VeroKolt in partnership with architect Lake Flato, offers table dining plus bar seating and communal tables. There’s also an expansive covered terrace that captures the gentle breezes off the creek. Lining the cafe shelves are its namesake cookbooks, hundreds of them, donated by beloved Austin food wirter Virginia B.Wood, who bequeathed her treasured collection upon her recent death. Ranging from 1950s vintage editions to contemporary celebrity chef tomes, Wood’s collection has been lovingly displayed for diners to admire and peruse.

118 OCTOBER 2018 |

tribeza.com

Cookbook Bar and Cafe is housed within the Lake Flato designed Austin Central Library. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner Spezia fell for dishes like this white chocolate coconut cake.

But Cookbook doesn’t just rest on its good looks and prime location: Its food is terrific. Led by chef Drew Curren of the Elm Restaurant Group (24 Diner, Italic, Irene’s), the kitchen turns out sophisticated flavors and presentations that belie its fast-casual counter service and modest price point. Every item on the menu has been inspired by the published recipes of revered chefs and cookbook authors. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a full bar, Cookbook offers something for everyone. In the mornings, there are hearty choices like huevos rancheros driven by renowned NYC chef Gabrielle Hamilton’s book “Prune.” Or there’s PB&J French toast from the infamous “Betty Crocker’s New Cookbook,” plus grab-and-go treats like orange-scented rye muffins. At lunch and dinner, starters include a refreshing salad of watercress, arugula, pears, walnuts, and Parmesan from Jamie Oliver’s “The Naked Chef Takes Off.” There’s also creamy fresh lemon ricotta topped with mushrooms, garlic, and shallots inspired by chef Yotam Ottolenghi’s “Plenty More.” But the winner might be the addictively light and crispy artichoke fritters with lemon aioli by New Orleans chef Alon Shaya. Sandwiches like the turkey Waldorf inspired by Emeril Lagasse and the shrimp BLT by Jonathan Waxman are elegant and satisfying. But the chicken potpie à la Thomas Keller is a comfort-food home run with its flaky crust and soulful fillings. Even side dishes are given careful thought like the grilled potato salad with bacon from San Francisco’s beloved Tartine. Kids get hungry, too, and Cookbook’s child-friendly offerings have pedigrees from superstar chefs like Alain Ducasse’s chicken-and-vegetable kebabs. And don’t forget dessert. Pastry chef Mary Catherine Curren gives a loving nod to the late Anthony Bourdain with a “Les Halles Cookbook”-inspired chocolate-hazelnut tart.

COOKBOOK BAR & CAFE 710 W. CESAR CHAVEZ ST. COOKBOOKATX.COM

Did I mention there’s a full bar in the library at Cookbook? (Where was this when I was in college?!) Not only are there very nice wine and beer lists, there are also sophisticated cocktails that are both delicious and clever, like the raspberry-steeped Adventures of Huckleberry Gin, the chilled mocha Murder on the Orient Espresso, and my personal favorite, Tequila Mockingbird, with jalapeño-infused tequila, watermelon, and lime. Sophisticated food doesn’t need to be stuffy, and Cookbook is the kind of place where you can nibble over your laptop or luxuriate over a dinner date. It’s also one of the few new restaurants where you can have a conversion without shouting over an earsplitting din. Oh, there’s still great energy and a cool urban vibe, but it is a library after all.
