Lake Flato Architects Designs the River Bend Residence
Amy Duong — September 12, 2023 — Art & Design
Texan design studio Lake Flato Architects designs the River Bend Residences found in the Texas Hill Country, which is in New Braunfels north of San Antonio. It takes the beautiful and tranquil surroundings into consideration as the house sits on top of a wooden perch that overlooks the Guadalupe River. The home is made for a retired couple who are interested in traveling and documenting these trips.
The design studio states, "River Bend Residence is a tranquil home designed to sit lightly upon the land, minimising disruption to the site and existing trees. The project was designed to provide beautiful spaces to accommodate their daily routine, with intentionally small storage capacity, as they are downsizing."
