Tower House - Tower Raising in the Breeze

'Tower House' by US firm Andersson-Wise, is the tallest and attractive silvery construction among the many other small limestone cabins from the 1930s sits along Lake Travis, Austin, Texas. This is mainly used as Guest house just like the other small cabins which are also used as Holiday homes.

It resembles a lookout tower from the outside, charming and perfectly designed to fit in with its surroundings – it is just visible over the tree-line. The architects have done a fantastic job on this modern yet natural-looking tower, it is full of character both on the inside and out, yet it is inoffensive within the woodland surroundings.

“When we first saw it, it was a simple building with one large room, a little sleeping room, kitchen and a porch facing the water,” said Andersson-Wise. “Our clients came to us with the request to expand the cabin with an additional two bedrooms with baths and larger living area for larger groups to gather in.”
