The Garden Street Residence is the latest eco-friendly dwelling designed by Texan firm Pavonetti Architecture. Taking inspiration from barn and stable structures akin to those in the area, the two-story Austin abode adopts an airy yet industrial feel.

The contemporary structure features exposed wood, steel framing and bare concrete floors, while the large, narrow steel-frame windows offset its hand-wrought finish. Stepping inside, a brightness emanates throughout as each room is accompanied by light wooden finishes not dissimilar to that of the exterior. With its collection of eclectic furnishings and ambient lighting the home takes on a quirky yet comfortable atmosphere.
