Ridgecrest Residence is a project designed by Clayton Korte. Perched on a hilltop in the West Lake Hills with a peek of downtown Austin, the Ridgecrest residence renovates and adds to a mid-century modern home, doubling its size. The 5,574-square-foot residence is designed to take advantage of the valley views and encourage seamless indoor and outdoor living experiences while using materials respectful of the place and details of the original 1970s home. Glazing along the south walls brings in abundant natural light and wraps around the outdoor living oasis with an existing pool and patio (floor-to-ceiling windows account for over 40% of the exterior). The living, dining, and kitchen are open concept and flow directly to the outdoor lounge, perfect for family gatherings and easy entertaining. Photography by Andrea Calo.
