This covered balcony opens from the hall near the 2nd floor family room and provides a cozy sheltered view. The owners of this New Braunfels house have a love of Spanish Colonial architecture, and were influenced by the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio. The home elegantly showcases their collection of furniture and artifacts. Handmade cement tiles are used as stair risers, and beautifully accent the Saltillo tile floor.

Clean, horizontal lines and timber accents are key design elements for Mid Century Modern inspired homes. Timber-look aluminium battens by DecoBatten were used to create a modern yet tranquil outdoor space that accentuates the home’s characteristics and blends seamlessly with the surrounding bushland.

A casual holiday home along the Australian coast. A place where extended family and friends from afar can gather to create new memories. Robust enough for hordes of children, yet with an element of luxury for the adults. Referencing the unique position between sea and the Australian bush, by means of textures, textiles, materials, colours and smells, to evoke a timeless connection to place, intrinsic to the memories of family holidays.
