Ridgecrest Residence is a project designed by Clayton Korte. Perched on a hilltop in the West Lake Hills with a peek of downtown Austin, the Ridgecrest residence renovates and adds to a mid-century modern home, doubling its size. The 5,574-square-foot residence is designed to take advantage of the valley views and encourage seamless indoor and outdoor living experiences while using materials respectful of the place and details of the original 1970s home. Glazing along the south walls brings in abundant natural light and wraps around the outdoor living oasis with an existing pool and patio (floor-to-ceiling windows account for over 40% of the exterior). The living, dining, and kitchen are open concept and flow directly to the outdoor lounge, perfect for family gatherings and easy entertaining. Photography by Andrea Calo.
The house is designed by Starbox Architecture around the concept of ‘Rugged Luxury’ to directly reflect the tidal estuary. When the tide is out, the raw and rugged landscape is exposed while it is the direct opposite when the tide is in; an expansive body of water fills the estuary to provide a beautiful, clean, reflective landscape. The outcome of this “rugged luxury” offers a blend of raw beauty and refined elegance, creating a unique and inviting living experience that celebrates the natural surroundings and embodies a sense of sophisticated comfort.

These architectural nuances offer glimpses into the interior, inviting a sense of intrigue and connection with the surrounding environment. Photography by Leonid Furmansky.

A Modern Villa is a project designed by Israelevitz Architects. Welcome to the new home of a couple with 6 children, located in a quiet and pleasant neighborhood in one of the coveted and vibrant central cities. Over the years, the family lived on a nearby street, in a rented house that did not quite match their taste and needs. They purchased a corner plot of about half a dunam and approached Dan and Hila Israelevitz – the owners of the Israelevitz Architects office, to design a home tailored to their needs. The result, like all the projects the firm is entrusted with, is inspiring thanks to poetic, ultra-modern and unconventional architecture, a close connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, and meticulous and highly professional interior design tailored precisely to their lifestyle. This is what it looks like from the outside and inside. Photography by Oded Smadar.
