Bringing Home the Vacation Vibe: Gable Roof Hewn House in Austin

ByMyProperty Life

A home that has the vibe of a vacation house is one that definitely creates a more cheerful atmosphere that everyone enjoys. At the same time, you want some semblance of balance between the holiday-vibe and modern functionality that offers the best of both worlds. It is a practical choice that makes sense. And this is exactly what you get with the innovative and smart Hewn House designed by Matt Fajkus Architecture in Austin. The house with a gabled roof and wooden exterior feels like a vacation home from the outside but has a more contemporary appeal on the inside. The blend of styles is truly exceptional!

Modern Hewn House combines vacation home appeal with contemporary ergonomics

The rustic façade on the outside leads to an open and bright living area on the inside with kitchen and dining area next to it. A neutral color scheme anchored in white is not disturbed by use of bright color anywhere. Wood makes a big impact on the inside with even the living area ceiling being crafted in wood. Outside, there is a lush green garden with tall trees and it is these trees that provide natural shade and privacy to the house. The trees also define the overall contours of the house and its design finds ways to ensure that the existing greenery is left as undisturbed as possible.

    – The client: I need a “toy store to store toys”
    – ji study: “We create a space that EVERYTHING IS A TOY !!”
    The project is intended for the youngest clients we have had:
    3 and 5 years. These mini-clients do not demand great needs, only places,
    spaces, colors and imaginative experiences.
    That is why we decided to make the leap of designing the furniture that we were commissioned
    to make a “mega furniture” that in itself is the toy and also
    The toy box.
    We had a very interesting volume in one of the bedrooms of
    a building built in the 40’s where we obtained the great advantage and
    opportunity to have a height of 4 meters free.
    This mega-furniture is based, in its concept, on a poplar wood fold
    that surrounds the space and creates volumes according to the places we wanted
    give them:
    – beds in line with nest beds below
    – stairs
    – yellow play tunnel with hemispheres and networks
    – benches
    – blackboards on walls and furniture
    – fun and sliding chairs
    – A desk table representing a sun
    – Lights like moons or stars
    – High and low storage
    In short, it is a space if a specific purpose, timeless
    and with the values ​​of IMAGINE, DISCOVER, INVEST, UP, DOWN,
