A Parallel Architecture's Terrace Mountain Residence in Austin, Texas, presents a striking design that appears to float amid its natural surroundings. Positioned above wooded slopes, the home features a suspended bridge and glass thresholds that connect to breathtaking views of the city skyline. The interplay of materials—steel, glass, concrete, and local stone—creates a dynamic atmosphere, while the structure’s form allows for selective openings to frame views of daylight. The design incorporates layered spatial transitions and a reflective pond, enhancing the relationship between the building and its landscape, ultimately crafting a serene living environment.
The home seems to hover between sky and earth, as if defying gravity, with a design that invites the landscape into the architecture's rhythm.
Materiality shapes the home's atmosphere, utilizing concrete, steel, and local stone with dark-stained wood to contrast nature while offering warmth and structure.
