Houzz Tour: A Taste of Bali in the heart of Texas A - love of Balinese design and Zen philosophy was the catalyst for this house of Asian style, located in the heart of Austin. Webber + Studio architectural firm was instructed to imagine a home that reflects the Texas roots of its customers, but also captured the feel of a holiday they took to the Indonesian island many years ago.
In addition, it was necessary to adapt the lifestyle of the family, who had a young child and a second on the way. The result is a modern home that feels both comfortable and a total escape from the mundane.
architect David Webber gives us a tour of this magnificent oasis.
