Rollingwood Residence

Sited on the edge of a sloping hill, Rollingwood Residence was designed to take advantage of the surrounding sylvan landscape. The home’s program is stacked over the sloping hillside, giving the north and east facades sweeping views over the hillside and neighboring woods. A floating offset gable roof follows the slope of the land and expressively guides the views down the hill, where an original path using restored rock ledges leads to a dry creek, amphitheater, and private gathering space.  While feeling remote and serene, the house is opportunely located in Rollingwood, close the vibrant downtown Austin giving the owners unparalleled access.
