2406 E 12th ST # 1, Austin TX 78702

Created by Rock Paper Build and Davey McEathron Architecture, the East 12th Residence is a case study for what happens when a husband (architect) and wife (builder) team up to create a highly detailed, highly customized community of 2 houses and 2 accessory dwelling units in the vibrant East Austin neighborhood of Chestnut.

Grain-matched walnut cabinets in the kitchen serve as a warm and sophisticated backdrop to the open floor plan on the first floor - with 10’ ceilings and level 5 drywall. The large waterfall kitchen island, topped with a leathered, infinity white quartzite countertop anchors the kitchen while a large, double sliding glass door by Western opens to a private backyard with a thermally modified ash deck and a 176 sf custom pool. The design-build team worked closely with the concrete supplier to develop a custom aggregate mix for the foundation that, once ground down and polished, resembles a black and white terrazzo. Have fun with your guests as you invite them to find the powder room, tucked behind a hidden door.

A custom designed/built steel/white oak handrail leads one up to the 2nd floor where curved walls focus towards the primary suite. The primary bedroom is filled with natural light from a huge, North facing window. The primary bathroom has a double vanity, clad in walnut and Zermatt quartzite floating over a terrazzo floor. The curved wall wetroom hugs a soaking tub and has double shower heads.

The third floor has vaulted ceilings and a commanding view towards the South and downtown views towards the West from a small gameroom/lounge. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are both on this floor, along with a playful secondary bathroom, clad in colorful tiles and cabinets.
