2201 Garden St

Description

At the intersection of architecture and art, this one-of-a-kind compound in East Austin’s sought-after Holly neighborhood is the latest creation from Rabb Construction and Davey McEathron Architecture. This property is a masterclass in sculptural design, natural materials, and artisanal craftsmanship. Terraluz offers 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plus a detached guest suite/home office with its own bathroom above the garage—connected by a bridge clad in the new Rock Paper Build tiles from Clay Imports and a suspended hammock net, creating a whimsical and social space 10 feet in the air. Together, the home and suite span 2,140 square feet. The home is defined by sweeping, curvilinear rammed earth walls—a unique and expressive use of an ancient building technique. These walls help temper the heat of the Western sun and act as tactile, textural elements that soften the facades with their organic curves. A private plunge pool offers the perfect spot to unwind in style. Crowning the structure are barrel-vaulted roofs clad in soft green metal, curving downward to become walls—emphasizing architectural fluidity and highlighting the homes’ sculptural forms. Inside, the interiors are a warm and tactile blend of natural finishes: white oak cabinetry, terracotta, marble, and burnished limewash walls. The polished concrete floors are honed to reveal a terrazzo-like finish, adding texture and durability underfoot. Throughout, custom steelwork and intricate detailing—hand-forged railings, thresholds, and shelving—elevate the design to a truly artisanal level. The overall aesthetic is a seamless fusion of desert modernism, Art Nouveau, and organic architecture, brought to life through local craftsmanship and visionary design. Whether you're an artist or a design lover seeking something truly unique, this compound is a rare and inspiring find in one of Austin’s most creative, culturally rich neighborhoods.
