The project
Matt Garcia Design reworked this Austin apartment to connect its three levels and open views towards Lake Austin and the Pennybacker Bridge. Working with Dowbuilt, the team stripped the interior back and removed walls that had divided the living spaces.
A new entrance window brings in daylight. The stair connects the levels visually, with perforated metal risers and balustrades allowing light to reach the lower lounge. A warm material palette carries through the remodel, completed in 2024.

A metal staircase rises through the entrance hall.

A freestanding bath beside tall windows and a double vanity.

The bedroom, with a fireplace and glazed terrace doors.

The games room, with integrated joinery and a television.
