BREIF

Nestled in Austin, TX, the Red Oak project stands as an extraordinary testament to modern architecture. Pushing the boundaries of conventional design, this exceptional residence showcases an innovative fusion of materials, with a particular emphasis on architectural and board-formed concrete. Through the creative utilization of concrete, the Red Oak project exudes a sense of boldness and elegance.

The strategic incorporation of this versatile material enables the creation of unique features that redefine the concept of a home. From the curved glass walls that elegantly contrast against the orthogonal floating roof planes to the mesmerizing 'butterfly' roof design above the main living space, every aspect harmoniously merges with the surrounding elements.

Beyond aesthetics, concrete serves as a unifying element, seamlessly connecting the main residence and three independent guest casitas. Floating above the water, a linked walkway provides both functional circulation and an immersive experience amid the serene landscape.

This carefully crafted composition thoughtfully weaves around the property's mature red oak trees and multiple water features, further enhancing the natural ambiance.

Led by visionary architects James LaRue, AIA, and Patrick Mobley, AIA, the Red Oak project captures the essence of modernity while celebrating the versatility and beauty of architectural and board-formed concrete. It's an architectural marvel that invites admiration and appreciation from all who encounter it.
