For the renovation and addition to a private residence in Austin, TX, the architect was able to maintain the charm and structure of the original home, while creating an expanded space that seamlessly matches the existing structure. The exterior facade features a local flagstone from Central Texas, which is a close match to the stone used on the original portion of the home.
“The design goal was to increase the size of the house without changing the character and scale,” said architect Tim Cuppett of Tim Cuppett Architects in Austin, TX. “The addition meets all of the functional requirements of additional living space, but also enhances the scale and character of the existing cottage. The site’s unique charm is still intact.”
