A quiet infill project on a tree-lined Austin street, Birchwood Townhouse reinterprets the classic three-story rowhome with a restrained material palette of white brick, blackened steel, and white oak.

Light wells cut through the center of the plan, drawing daylight down into a ground-floor kitchen and dining room that would otherwise sit deep within the footprint. A rooftop terrace captures downtown skyline views.

Built with durability and simplicity in mind, the home favors long-lasting natural materials over ornament, a quietly confident response to the density of its urban surroundings.
