A family of four recently moved to Austin from Silicon Valley, CA to lay down roots. They purchased this home halfway through construction and worked together with Cornerstone Architects and Ashby Collective to create an environment that is truly in line with their preferences and lifestyle. The couple are each from different multicultural backgrounds as well as avid travelers. They sought to incorporate elements from their combined cultural heritage and diverse life experiences in the interior design and artwork selections. They also sought to create spaces for both more formal and more casual entertaining, as well as a teen-friendly home where their children and their friends would feel entirely comfortable.
