Tower House – an idyllic wooden house by the lake that blends into the surroundings

On the shores of Lake Travis in Austin (Texas) stands the idyllic Tower House, designed by Andersson-Wise Architects. The house strongly stands out from its peers, as it is high and not walled with stone but covered with wood. Because of this, it just blends in with its surroundings. It was built with the aim of adding a living space to one of the mentioned huts. And a three-story building has grown up, whose wooden "facade" complements the surrounding stones beautifully and just begs you to climb to the top and admire the view of the lake.

Around Lake Travis, there are tons of stone cabins from in 1930, but none are as neat as the one that stands next to the Tower House, which was also acquired by the aforementioned bureau before the renovation.
