This multifamily project in west Austin is defined by two archetypal gabled forms. These staggered, cedar clad volumes respond to the unique site conditions by accommodating a large protected Pecan tree. While one unit encircles this majestic tree and creates an intimate, shaded courtyard, the other uses a large sliding glass door to maximize the connection to the backyard. An extruded picture window at the front of each unit includes a built-in daybed.
