Renovation of Luxury Mansion in Austin
A family home full of character
After a previous successful collaboration in the design and realization process of a unique holiday home, Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes received another order from the same customer. This time it involved the renovation of a complete mansion in Austin, TX. The assignment was to turn two houses into one spacious and special family home. A great assignment with plenty of room for luxury, design and the necessary statements.
Mansion renovation: inside and outside
The necessary adjustments were required to turn the two existing apartments into one functional and special family home. Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes made a proposal in which the two different stairwells were redesigned into one efficient and special whole. This created a logical routing from the ground floor via the basement to the garden. The first floor became the beating heart of the house with a luxurious and spacious kitchen that is connected to a spacious terrace through a fully openable harmonica facade. Because the terrace is covered, this outdoor area is a real extension of the kitchen-diner on sunny, but also on less sunny days. The America on the terrace makes the outdoor life complete: with an attractive wood fire or something tasty on a spit, you can enjoy it until the late hours.
Modern and classic
The modern kitchen forms a nice contrast with the attractive dining room at the front of the house. From the wide windowsill there is a beautiful view over the avenue with stately Austin home buildings.
Impressive loft
The residents wanted a real eye-catcher in their home. Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes therefore provided them with a design in which the entrance was provided with a void of no less than 6.5 meters high. This imposing height, combined with the classic marble floor and the fully oak-clad stair element, create an impressive entrance! The highlight is the large glass areas around the mezzanine on the first floor, which provide a playful view and a great spatial effect. The master bathroom in the loft was a challenging proposal to which the residents wholeheartedly agreed.
Versatile basement
The basement was enlarged with an extension and was furnished as a games and television room. You can relax here in one of the attractively decorated areas: the spacious seating area with large lounge sofa, a cozy seat by the fireplace, a place to quietly read a book or play a game of table football. There is no shortage of space in this basement! And on nice days, the folding doors are also open here, allowing the inside and outside to merge.
Luxury townhouse full of character
