W Lakeview Residence
A Lake Travis upside-down house with main living on the second floor, a half-level porch, large view deck, two ensuite primary bedrooms, and simple fishing-cabin-inspired forms.
W Lakeview is a Lake Casual residence designed as an upside-down house, placing the main living level upstairs to maximize expansive Lake Travis views.
The challenge
The key planning problem was vertical: the best views were above the entry level, so a conventional first-floor-living arrangement would have sacrificed the site's strongest asset.
The design
The main living spaces move to the second floor and open to a large elevated deck. A porch at the half-level breaks up the stair sequence, while two ensuite primary bedrooms—one up and one down—add flexibility for family, guests, or changing needs over time. Simple fishing-cabin-inspired forms and board-and-batten siding keep the house relaxed rather than formal.
