This home designed by A Parallel and built by Arrowhead Construction sits above iconic Bouldin Ave in the heart of South Austin. An 80’ swim-through lap pool  cantilevers over the street.

The modern house, with its Corten steel fence and gate was a perfect setting for a garden that became a study in contrasts, layered with hardy saw palmettos and butterfly and bird attracting shrubs and perennials in the courtyard and hillside. Big Muhly grass anchors the entry hillside. A small kitchen garden fits perfectly into the courtyard. 

The dramatic pool floats above the landscape and is nestled into the tree canopy. The Saw Palmetto Palms frame the pool with a striking evergreen blue/green texture but are not so tall as to obscure the view. The courtyard is centered around a striking Palo Verde tree.
