Harwell Hamilton Harris, Architect :: The Barrow Residence, 1955. One of only two homes in Austin by the Mid-Century Modern pioneer, this historic work manifests the influence of Japanese design, fine wood craftsmanship, and the sculptural possibilities of the era. With an inspirational open plan, spaces flow freely from one to another and out through double doors to landscaped terraces. Bordering Camp Mabry's green space, a short walk to Mount Bonell, with views of the U.T. Tower elegantly framed by live oaks. The exposed post-and-beam structure repeats rhythmically like a musical stanza. Rafters and purlins extend beyond the building envelope, a graphic nod to the future. Most original hand-crafted details remain, built like a piece of furniture, while the cook's kitchen and master bath have been tastefully renovated. Solid walnut cabinets, white oak and cork floors, massive stone fireplace, stainless steel countertops and appliances, floor-to-ceiling glass. Own a piece of history.
