News | Residence 1446

 

The record-breaking sale of Residence 1446 (aka Willow Beach), a 9-acre estate on Lake Austin, has made headlines at the local, national, and international levels. The attention-grabbing sale, which was first announced by Mansion Global, has since been covered by Forbes, Business Insider, Business Journal, CultureMap, and more.

Designed and built over a decade, Residence 1446 includes a Main House, Guest House, Pedestrian Bridge, pool, and boathouse. Arranged around a central courtyard and characterized by its distinctive, copper-clad roof profiles, the home is defined by a horizontality that responds quietly and sensitively to its serene wetland surroundings. The design aims to respect and enhance the home’s unique site, while maintaining a balance between opening up to the landscape and maintaining the owners’ privacy. The dramatically-angled rooftops orient the spaces within to the natural landscape, while long, horizontal apertures provide sweeping panoramas throughout the home.
