When Every Step is a Step Into the Unexpected | Link House

Link House designed by the visionary Openideas Architects located in the heart of the city is a groundbreaking architectural marvel stands as a testament to creativity and ingenuity. Designed as a sprawling 22,000 sq. ft home for an entrepreneur and real estate magnate, this house defies the norms of conventional living.

The challenge presented was monumental: to construct two distinct houses and an outhouse on a confined plot. Embracing this challenge, Openideas Architects proposed an innovative solution — two separate blocks for the father and son, cleverly elevated and connected with entertainment areas at the upper level. This ingenious design minimized ground coverage. Also, giving rise to lush green pockets, sunken courts, and expansive lawns within the limited space. Aptly named “Link House,” this creation symbolizes the bridge between generations, ideologies, and experiences.

The journey through The Link House begins with a dynamic bridge flowing over water bodies and greens, set the stage for extraordinary experiences that lie beyond. Meticulously planned spaces unfold as one ascends, ingeniously catering to the unique needs of both father and son. The upper level reveals a dynamic entertainment space, seamlessly connec the distinct houses and overlook the pool area with stepped garden pockets.

The ground level, below the flowing bridge, cradles the parent’s abode, providing tranquility and security. Simultaneously, the adjacent block housing the son’s home interconnects both upper and lower levels, creating sunken courts for family gatherings that open up into vast, verdant lawns.
In every aspect, Link House is a manifestation of thoughtful design where luxury meets functionality, surprises abound at every turn, and each day unfolds as a unique experience.
Internally, the residence is adorned with the finest Italian marble and wood, reflecting a blend of luxury, warmth, and elegance. Every room, a canvas, merges modern contemporary aesthetics with timeless elegance.
At the basement level, a sanctuary awaits with a home theater and a spa featuring a skylight that redefines calmness. This oasis extends into a soothing blue water body, surrounded by nature penetrating through concrete.

  • 007 House

    Tucked away on an urban lot in a dense, quintessentially Austin neighborhood, this residence borrows the spirit of international style combined with a fusion of pattern language to update the modern lifestyle. Using mass and void strategically, the floor plan opens up to connect the indoors to positive outdoor spaces without losing privacy. There is a unique cascading of roofs on this project that steps the house back and upward from the street creating a hierarchy for the pedestrian entrance transition. Bridging horizontal rooflines help keep a personal scale to the main entrance as they span across the two-story-tall featured screen wall, which is both architectural and structural. Utilizing the corner lot allows a centralized entry that naturally arranges the levels of intimacy from the south-facing public areas to the north side private rooms. Landscaping is used intentionally to serve as both privacy creation and visual backdrop through the windows and doors. A very sophisticated, yet casual elegance is crafted in the architecture and interiors of this residence that flows seamlessly from exterior to interior.
