Indulge in a serene family retreat by the tranquil Lake Austin. This idyllic cabin offers breathtaking views of the lake and its lush Cypress trees, enveloped by nature’s beauty. Whether you seek picturesque landscapes or a peaceful getaway, this vacation home promises to elevate your weekend experience.
For decades, the client’s family has been gathering at The Narrows, a stunning lakefront oasis situated on an undeveloped 5-acre lot located just a few miles away from downtown Austin.
The owners insisted on a simple, humble, yet unique cabin to host their family gatherings and quiet weekend retreats. This small cabin, nicknamed ‘Cousin Cabana’, needed to host multiple programs in a small space while maintaining a sense of openness.
Only 480 sf, the cabin features a combined kitchen-living-dining room adjacent to a wood deck.
We chose natural materials and methods that would be maintenance-free for years including an ipe wood rainscreen siding, custom floor-to-ceiling face-glazed steel windows and board-formed concrete planters.
