Clark | Richardson Architects has designed a functional outdoor living space that complements the existing home in Austin, Texas.
The structure includes a steel canopy floating among the trees, sheltering an arrangement of refined masonry volumes, while a wood ceiling provides visual warmth.

The space includes an outdoor living room, an outdoor kitchen, and an alfresco dining area. Oxidized steel panels have been used in the design of the fireplace, providing separation for the television and firewood storage.
