This home was designed with the young urban individual in mind. This person demands environmentally friendly features and energy efficiency. Thurman Homes selected an infill location for this featured Modern Home to maximize existing city infrastructure and convenience. No sprawl here… Also taking into consideration the site orientation, solar panels are integrated into the roof for optimal exposure. Spray foam insulation below the roof surface helps create a sealed building envelope. These features allow soaring ceilings that translate to open sight lines and volume in the living area and beyond.

The main floor boasts a master and great room, covered porches and attached garage parking – all in a compact footprint. The architect thoughtfully laid out the design to minimize hallways and utilize square footage within the usable spaces. These construction and design features culminate in an efficient building with clean aesthetic of the tenets of modern Austin architecture.
