Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks in Austin’s Bouldin Creek neighborhood, this custom home is a study in balance—elevated yet grounded, open yet private. Wrapped in vertical wood siding, the second-floor volume rests above steel supports, creating a shaded carport and entryway below. Inside, natural light floods the open-plan interiors through expansive glazing, while warm materials and simple forms provide a calm and cohesive backdrop to everyday living. Forsite Studio designed this residence to embrace its sloped, wooded lot and deliver thoughtful moments of connection between structure and site.
