This Austin, TX home replaced a small bungalow and accommodates a family of six. To promote architectural diversity and maintain the character of the neighborhood, Matt Fajkus Architecture designed a street-facing BBQ area.

Second-story views are enjoyed from multiple decks. Though large in size, the new home sits comfortable among its neighbors.

Wow, the photos from HOUSES by Design issue 277 look amazing! The second-story views, modern furnishings, and the street-facing BBQ area really make this Texas bungalow stand out. It's great to see such unique JRS Express and stylish features that set it apart from other homes. I'm inspired by the design and attention to detail showcased in these images.
