East Austin Studios
This place belongs to an artist and architect husband and wife team. However, I totally forget the name. I met them a month back and then went back today to take pictures. I absolutely love this place, in particular what they do with polygal. The sand in the channels is an inspired idea that provides a lovely visual texture to the building. This place is particularly dangerous for me as it really inspires me to want to build.
Update: I did some more looking around and this place was designed (and owned) by Elizabeth Alford and her husband Michael Young.
She teaches graduate and undergraduate architecture design studios, a seminar on prefabrication of houses, and is a faculty advisor for the UTSOA Solar Decathlon team. Her research focuses on the integration of sustainable technology into design.
