Featured on the AIA Austin 2007 Homes Tour, this home rests at the end of a cul-de-sac, so careful consideration was given to what was seen first from the street. This was balanced with the desire to capture the sweeping view of the environmentally protected creek. Stones from the site were used in a drystack wall to give a bit of level lawn in front and were also incorporated into the exterior walls. The homeowner's love of Mexican influences provided for a fun and colorful interior. For more details, click here.

Lawrence Construction was featured in the September 2006 issue of Custom Home Magazine with the following write-up.  Texas Twist Builder Roger Lawrence wanted a stair railing that expressed the “rustic contemporary” style of his Austin, Texas, home and turned to interior designer Vicki Mayabb for a creative solution. “I started by thinking about natural forms and tried to take those forms to a more refined level with contemporary details,” says Mayabb. She sent several sketches to a metal fabricator who was “really able to get the concept” and could ensure that the free-flowing rods of varying diameters would comply with code. Mayabb used a finish of red oxide primer covered with unevenly sprayed black paint to give the hammered iron a variegated effect. Builder: Lawrence Construction, Austin, Texas; Architect: Manning Architecture, Austin; Interior designer: Mayabb Interiors, Austin; Metal fabricator: Made of Metal, Austin; Photographer: John Luckenbach.
