Travis Heights Treehouse

An Austin family needed flexible-use space added to their 1920’s South Austin bungalow on a narrow heavily treed urban lot. The design solution was a 500 square foot, two-story studio/guest apartment nestled among the backyard trees and connected to the main house by an arbor-covered walkway. The lower floor accommodates a living area, a small kitchen and a toilet/shower. The upper floor is a “treehouse” bedroom with a tub and outdoor deck.
