Terrace Mountain House
Overlooking downtown Austin from the West Lake Hills, the Terrace Mountain House is a modern indoor/outdoor masterpiece of steel, stone, concrete, glass, and natural wood. A floating bridge leads to the front door, which leads to an open main floor that includes a glass-wrapped living area that hovers over the infinity pool, maximizing the views, a minimalist kitchen, and a dining area. The main bedroom includes a floating fireplace to differentiate between sleeping and sitting areas, as well as his and hers closets and bathrooms. Downstairs is home to two guest suites and a two-story media room with kitchenette, which opens out to the expansive outdoor living area, partially protected by the structure above, complete with the aforementioned pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a reflection pond and water feature that leads to the stone stairs running next to the entryway above.
