Tucked away in the hills of Westlake, this architecturally significant residence is a rare fusion of art, sustainability, and refined modern living. Designed by nationally acclaimed architect Dick Clark, with influence from renowned Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta, the home was featured on the 2001 AIA Tour of Homes, published in numerous architectural magazines, and recognized nationally for its striking, timeless design.
Constructed with steel-frame architecture and awarded Austin’s highest 5-Star Green Builder rating, the home exemplifies forward-thinking design well ahead of its time. Clean lines, simple geometric forms, and dramatic light interplay define the structure, while expansive commercial-grade, double-pane windows frame treetop canopies and downtown Austin views, blurring the line between indoors and out.
Set on a private 0.921-acre lot, the home offers a tranquil, almost resort-like environment with no HOA restrictions. A cascading waterfall system runs throughout the property, collecting rainwater into a cistern and creating a constant, calming soundscape that can be heard from multiple rooms when windows are open. The recently refreshed pool—featuring updated tile and plaster—anchors the outdoor living spaces, complemented by new landscaping, a concrete paver driveway, and a recently installed Viking fence for privacy and security.
Inside, the open floor plan is both functional and gallery-like, designed to showcase art while remaining highly livable. Sustainably harvested oak flooring, European lighting fixtures, solar shades, and concrete and stone finishes reinforce the home’s modern yet warm aesthetic. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with professional-grade appliances and custom cabinetry, seamlessly flowing into the main living and dining spaces.
Thoughtful upgrades include state-of-the-art lighting dimmers and control systems, ensuring modern convenience while preserving the integrity of the original design. A lifetime metal roof, steel construction, and low-maintenance materials throughout underscore the home’s durability and long-term value.
Meticulously maintained and deeply intentional in every detail, this Westlake Hills residence is more than a home—it is a piece of Austin architectural history, offering privacy, sustainability, and design pedigree just minutes from downtown.
