This\u00a0high-concept contemporary estate<\/strong>\u00a0is an astounding\u00a0architectural landmark\u00a0with a delightfully rustic interior. Originally designed by\u00a0Larry Speck<\/strong>\u00a0and remodeled by award-winning architects\u00a0Paul Lamb\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ted Young<\/strong>, this masterful\u00a0Austin home<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0juxtaposes austere concrete with sleek white pine floors and lofty wood-and-steel roof trusses.<\/p>\n

Artwork by Firelei B\u00e1ez anchors a neutral-hued seating area in the living room. Though the pine flooring is original to the house, Vaughn Miller \u201cpushed for the floor colour in the beginning, as grey created a neutral envelope to showcase the furnishings and her art collection<\/em>,\u201d she says. Midcentury, Moroccan, and custom pieces\u2014like the Haas brothers\u2019 \u201cStool on the Hill\u201d\u2014conspire to create an eclectic look that matches interiors throughout the rest of the house.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An Apparatus fixture hangs above the seating area in the library, which is separated from the hallway with sliding doors that pocket into the bark-clad walls and slide behind the painted wood bookshelves.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows create expansive views of the lush hillside and twinkling lights of Downtown Austin, allowing bursts of natural light to soften and envelop the living spaces. Purposefully neutral tones form a gallery-esque backdrop for a beloved\u00a0art collection<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0bold furnishings<\/strong>, with ingenious\u00a0art meets design trend<\/strong>\u00a0by\u00a0New York-based Vaughn Miller Studios<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The kitchen features a wall clad in tiles of lichen-speckled tree bark and a pristine island topped in white macaubas quartzite, with a traditional LaCanche range.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\"ArtA glass-topped desk designed by Gio Ponti dominates a cantilevered office area off the kitchen; it sits opposite a custom bed platform highlighted by Yayoi Kusama artwork.\u00a0\n

In this art meets design trend<\/strong> kitchen, blackened steel panels carried over from the entry join an island topped in white macaubas quartzite and a wall clad in tiles of lichen-speckled tree bark. A moody powder room balances an Italian marble sink with a custom perforated steel vanity and unlacquered brass hardware.<\/p>\n

Korean artist Hun-Chung Lee, in partnership with R & Company, created a minimalist ceramic dining table that offsets the antique chairs, ornate Bakalowits chandelier, and vibrant artwork by Ida Tursic and Wilfried Mille.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A Haas Brothers chair and a rug picked up during the client\u2019s travels in Morocco add warmth in the main dining space. Tavares Strachan\u2019s neon You Belong Here brightens the space that leads to the entry.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

While a lot of that daring came courtesy of the existing architecture, much of it was also a result of the relationship between the client and Vaughn Miller, who, like Lamb, was inspired by the poured concrete walls and their ability to provide a neutral, gallery-like backdrop for\u00a0bold custom furnishings<\/strong>, including a sheepskin chair and hand-carved walnut stool by the\u00a0Haas Brothers<\/strong>, and a\u00a0ceramic dining table\u00a0<\/strong>by\u00a0Korean artist Hun-Chung Lee<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
