Building Interior Decorating of Glen Lake House by Barley & Pfeiffer Architect. The “Glen Lake” house represents the life-long penchant of a professional couple for wind-generated recreational activities.

Glen Lake House - Barley & Pfeiffer Architect

The fancy of flight and movement were key elements of the design challenge. The floor plan is inspired by the shape of a bird—curved walls representing wings swooping one through the home. Of course, the site presented inspiration as well as obstacles. Breathtaking views of Lake Austin winding through the hill country were also in the same direction of the hot afternoon sun. Strong prevailing breezes were amplified by the precipitous drop down to the cool waters below. Hence the extensive use of a shading trellis, awnings, covered and screened porches to allow one to enjoy natures gifts while being protected from her harsher side.

“Green” principles abound beyond the use of careful site planning and orientation. Energy efficiency features include careful window placement and overhang sizing, a ventilated radiant barrier metal roof system, a central stair tower designed to enhance the flow of natural ventilation by creating an internal thermal siphon, a hydronic heating system, and a water tower enhanced cooling system that works better the hotter it gets outside! “Green” building materials selections include the use of post consumer recycled cardboard for the wall insulation, utilizing locally quarried stone and other cladding materials that are light in color to reduce solar heat gain, along with many other features that demonstrate one can achieve significant environmental compatibility without resorting to unusual building techniques.

It was very important for the Owner re-create a strict interpretation of the early 20th century Bungalow style – only adjusted as needed to meet today’s lifestyle – to house all the period furniture, art, and fixtures they had collected over the years.

This home, with two active children, centers around family activities, and respects today’s lifestyle expectations. The scale of the house is larger than many of the pre-existing homes on its street but blends into the neighborhood fabric and scale. The site, located in Tarrytown, suggested a home that opened to the neighborhood while providing a quiet retreat for the family.

The finished house, with its broad open front porch, interacts with the street and the neighborhood in a welcoming manner. An open carport at the rear of the property creates an additional outside covered play area.

The “Craftsman Cottage” has received a Five Star rating from the Austin Green Building Program, yet doesn’t look “green” and pays homage to the dominant “Craftsman” style of the pre-existing and well-revered homes in the neighborhood – dispelling the myth that one has to “Go Weird to Go Green”.

A comprehensive approach was taken from the start of the programming and design process to integrate sensibly placed advanced mechanical, lighting, hot water, passive cooling and other energy conservation systems.
