This south central-Austin house was designed for a couple wishing for a design that would support an active indoor/outdoor life. Early versions of the design featured flat roofs, but we were drawn to the idea of a simple elevated gable structure housing the bedrooms and opening onto the roof deck of the more public spaces below. At the same time the mass provides shade for the pool-deck and cover for the carport. Perhaps most of all, we wanted this form to be iconic, graphic and legible throughout, almost like a child’s drawing of a house.

这所位于奥斯汀中南部的房子是为一对夫妇设计的，他们想要一种支持室内/室外生活的设计。早期版本的设计以平顶为特色，但我们被一种简单的高架式山墙结构所吸引，该结构可以容纳卧室，并开放到下面更多公共空间的屋顶甲板上。同时，质量为泳池甲板提供遮荫，并为载货港提供掩护。也许最重要的是，我们希望这种形式是标志性的，图形的和可读的，几乎就像一个孩子画的房子。
