For Sale - $1.5M - Westlake

This place is very cool looking. Definitely need to find need to find a way to see it for myself (and take even more pictures). This home was designed by John Watson who did another home in Westlake that is similar (though still unique) and sold a few years back. Reminds of later period Lautner when he was doing all those concrete circular homes and perhaps it is not surprising that Watson & Lautner both studies under Frank Lloyd Wright.

Love the windows and the big beams. No pictures of the outside so I can’t say if it is truly modern or no. Realtor uses the oft dreaded “contemporary” description. MLS Listing.

Mushroom Palace.

Went with some friends to see check out this place in person. It is currently listed as "land" for sale in Westlake which is too bad if it encourages a tear down for a mcmanion (see listing info below). This place is not only a great design but also in extremely good condition.

The details are amazing. The lighting and HVAC is indirect and embedded. There are no interior doors just a flowing curved layout. The texture you see on the wall is a sprayed on foam that is still soft to the touch and doesn’t seem to flake or shed. Would make wonderful guest or event house with complementing modern home higher up on the lot (which is 2.5 acres and in a very private valley).

Thanks to Paul to taking us over there and for use of the pictures here. More pictures can be seen at his blog, Austin ModHouse.
