Bella Vista

This remodel transforms a Mediterranean-style home overlooking Lake Austin into a refined contemporary residence that fully embraces its dramatic site. The design replaces the heavy, ornate character of the original architecture with simplified rooflines, a clean material palette, and expanded glazing to frame panoramic views of the lake and surrounding hills.

Inside, the floor plan is opened to create stronger visual and physical connections between living spaces and the outdoors. Walls are removed or reconfigured to improve flow, while new window and door systems bring daylight deep into the interior. Outdoor terraces, a reimagined pool deck, and updated landscape elements extend the living environment and reinforce the home’s connection to its setting.

Natural stone, smooth stucco, and warm wood accents balance the crisp modern lines with warmth and texture, giving the home a timeless quality. The result is a complete transformation that honors the home’s location while replacing an outdated style with a fresh, modern identity.
