When viewed from the street, this home appears to be an ordinary tract home like its neighbors. However, upon entry, the Ames Room-like illusion is revealed, and one experiences a collection of carefully composed architectural volumes that transform one's perception of the generic 1980’s house into a unique light-filled, modern home.
Enjoy this year's all-virtual tour from the comfort of your own home Saturday, March 6th! Matt and Sarah will lead you through a tour of the residence and tell the unique story of this project and answer questions.

“The AIA AAH Healthcare Design Awards showcase the best of healthcare building design, healthcare planning and healthcare design-oriented research. The awards highlight the trends of healthcare facilities and the future direction of these facilities. Projects should exhibit conceptual strength that solve aesthetic, civic, urban, and social concerns as well as the requisite functional and sustainability concerns associated with a healthcare setting.”

This April, MF Architecture exhibited at the 2019 Regional Marketplace, an annual land use and development event hosted by Urban Land Institute (ULI). The Westlake Dermatology Marble Falls project, a finalist of the 2018 ULI Impact Award, was on show as one of the hottest emerging real estate projects in the greater Austin area. By balancing solid and void, as well as rough and smooth, the minimalist, museum-like dermatology and surgery center stands as a pristine form, both contrasting and complimenting its natural setting. The MF Architecture booth was sponsored by Frontier Bank.

As if that’s not enough, there’s yoga and meditation, an infrared sauna and float chamber, and a wonderful chef-driven, gluten-free cafe, Elle’s, all in one lovely facility designed by MF Architecture.
