Full Description:
Architectural masterpiece designed by Bercy Chen Studio, recipient of Architectural Record’s Design Vanguard Award in 2006.
Riverview Gardens is one in a series of 3 identical houses located in Austin, Texas, one block north of Lady Bird Lake. The homes were inspired by Hamilton Pool, a deep natural escarpment which forms a dramatic waterfall near Austin. In the spirit of that waterfall rainwater is directed to the end of each Riverview Gardens house and falls 3 stories in a sheet to form a dramatic waterfall, not unlike the rarin screen found in classical Chinese gardens.
Each unit contains 2142 sqft of conditioned space and an equivalent amount of outdoor living space. The units are raised off the ground to provide covered parking and a recreation area below while capitalizing on views of the lake above the tree line.
The houses are monolithic on the east/west axis and completely open with glass on the north/south axis allowing uninterrupted views to the lake. The minimized footprint ensures large shared yards with dramatic 40' tall brazillian hardwood walls.
All roof surfaces are occupiable. The main roof is designed as a partially enclosed “room” with tall transulent panels ensuring privacy, framing views, and reflecting the light of the sky.
Home Features:
Floor to ceiling windows, imported Indian sand stone flooring, Brazilian hardwood siding, German light fixtures & steel countertops, high speed connection, separate shower, smoke detector, walk-in closet, wired for cable, roof deck, lake views
Community Features:
Just 2 miles from downtown Austin and one block from Lady Bird Lake, Fiesta Gardens and the Austin Hike and Bike Trail.
