This curious house, located on the edge of Lake Austin, has an original circular structure that is complemented by the undulating hills, thus highlighting the landscape that surrounds it. The curve of the staircase emphasizes the geometrical shape of the house even more. The house blends in with the area and becomes another feature of the landscape.

In this oval space, the seating follows the contour of the large window. The backs of the chairs, the armchair, the center table, and the fan emphasize the elliptical shape of the viewing point.
