Luxury Aesthetic Acquavilla House by Winn Wittman Architecture

                                                            Acquavilla by Winn WittmanThe Aquavilla House by Winn Wittman Architecture sited on some prime real estate of Lake Travis, Austin. This mid 80’s lakeside wreck was extensively renovated to reflect the exuberant and whimsical personality of the owner. A custom-designed and fabricated metal panel system was the solution for solar and aesthetic problems. The specifically designed and fabricated metal panel system was the solution for solar and aesthetic problems. A dappled fleur-de-lis pattern, which changes throughout the day, is illuminated by color-changing LED’s. The “Acquavilla” pattern, this time etched in glass, is repeated in the custom entry screen. The garages were requested to be “showrooms”, and definitely show off an impressive car collection that some of us have only viewed via the movies.

The renovation attempted to re-use what worked, insulate the structure with bio-foam, and mitigate the solar gain in an aesthetically pleasing way with the awnings, window films and custom panels. The new pool strives to bring the lake up to the home. The sliver leaf and fluffy fixtures of the great room seek to emulate the clouds and sailboats on the water beyond. The end product was a private residence that indulged on both the luxury of its surrounding environment and personality of its homeowner.
