EAST AUSTIN

• Location- East Side neighborhood in Austin, Texas
• Architect- Open Envelope Studio
• Builder- Praetorian Build

For this East Austin residence, Praetorian Build undertook a comprehensive front and backyard transformation, weaving together structural elegance and natural beauty. The project introduced a mix of 16 trees, including cherry laurels, redbuds, mountain laurels, Mexican buckeyes, and Lacey oaks, to create a vibrant landscape that blends seamlessly with the home’s surroundings.

A custom-built steel boardwalk with a cedar walkway, designed to appear as if it’s ‘floating,’ adds a distinctive architectural focal point. Steel-fabricated retaining walls, along with extensive brick walkways and patio spaces, provide structure and flow to the landscape, making the space both functional and inviting. We collaborated with Cowboy Pools to install their signature stock tank pool, and an updated irrigation system ensures each element thrives. This project reflects our commitment to creating cohesive, high-quality outdoor spaces that harmonize style, utility, and craftsmanship.
