Tetra House
The Tetra House is a single-family residence located in South Austin. The house is designed to be inward-looking, centered around a small, intimate courtyard. Inspired by the constructivist paintings of El Lissitzky, the house is envisioned as a series of volumes and surfaces that are layered and intersecting, but never quite coinciding. This has the effect of both minimizing the presence of the house along the streetscape and creating a series of strategic vantage points within and around the house. Central to the concept is a material striation between a concrete 'plinth' and an upper story of floating wood boxes.
