Accessory Dwelling with Live-Work Studio: Austin, TX

Two-story home with blue lap siding, a cedar-framed screened porch on the ground floor, and an exterior wood staircase leading to a second-floor deck
This accessory dwelling unit in Austin was designed by Smith Holt to serve double duty. The ground floor houses a dedicated office and music space, quiet enough for focused work and acoustically considered enough for recording. Upstairs, a one-bedroom apartment provides independent living quarters. The result is a compact structure that earns its footprint many times over.
