About This Project

Make+House is a thoughtfully designed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) located in the vibrant city of Austin, TX, that seamlessly integrates the dual functions of living and working for the modern artist. The project features a striking L-shaped structure that artfully separates the artist's studio from the minimalist living space, fostering both physical and mental boundaries essential for creative productivity. This innovative approach not only provides a practical layout but also enhances the overall well-being of its occupant by allowing for distinct spaces dedicated to work and rest. The artist's studio, situated on the left side of the 'L,' is designed to accommodate a variety of artistic pursuits, including carbon-printing, photography, and motorcycle restoration. The space embodies a high-art garage aesthetic, crafted with an attention to detail that reflects the owner's artistic vision. Custom steel projection windows flood the area with natural light while offering views of the xeriscape landscape, which features a joyful desert willow, enhancing the connection between the indoor and outdoor environments. The exterior of Make+House is a testament to modern craftsmanship, featuring intentionally rusting steel channels that frame grooved stucco walls. This choice of materials speaks to the project’s commitment to durability and aesthetic appeal, creating a striking visual contrast that captures the essence of Austin's desert modern architecture. The interplay of horizontal steel bands and vertical textures not only adds depth to the facade but also reinforces the structure's artistic identity. As you approach the entry courtyard, the landscaping invites a tranquil atmosphere, perfectly complementing the edited lifestyle design that underpins the entire project. While the design leans towards minimalism, it does so without sacrificing warmth and richness in materials, ensuring a welcoming environment. Make+House exemplifies a harmonious fusion of art, functionality, and thoughtful design, making it an ideal haven for any creative individual seeking inspiration in their own home.
