2023 American Institute of Architects Home Tour, October 28-29, Austin, Texas.

Franke : Franke is again honored to be selected by the Austin AIA for its annual Home Tour. The 2023 AIA Home Tour on October 28-29 will include the work of leading Architects practicing in the Austin Metro area. The Kinney Residence is a multi-phase project where we have been involved from conceptual site planning through design and construction services beginning with a remodel and restoration of the original street-front home, design and construction of an apartment over a workshop and carport, and culminating in design and construction of a new primary residence on the deep, narrow lot in the Zilker Park Neighborhood. The residence and apartment are designed to reflect one another through material selections, deep articulated roof planes and finely detailed masonry. Both relate to a central parking area which is often used as play court or outdoor theater for the owners’ family and friends. That important dialogue is quickly left behind upon entering the main residence where one finds an unexpected connection with a hidden creek and deeply carved ravine in the natural limestone banks beyond and below. Please mark your calendars and join us in October when we invite you to tour this engaging home and its hidden landscapes. We look forward to visiting with you about our approach to site and location-specific architecture, and the collaborative construction process that are key to each project we undertake.

“An open floor plan incorporates natural light and native landscaping while managing a 12-foot drop from the front to the rear of this Tarrytown property. A clean shed roof with a wood ceiling floats over the front facade, connecting interior and exterior spaces and embracing the street. The front carport converts to a game day pavilion with an enclosed television and bench seating.”  Austin Home Magazine
