JW Stoddard & Associates is a creative design firm in Austin, TX specializing in residential design.
THE PHILOSOPHY
Committed to creating a collaborative process and site-specific designs, we strive to create homes that embody three beliefs: a simple approach, practical planning, and beauty. Our goal is to create timeless spaces that merge our client’s wishes with the unique qualities of their site.
THE APPROACH
The design process is rarely straightforward, which is why listening to your needs, goals, and wishes is a key component to the design process. The strong respectful relationship we build with our clients provides the framework as we work together to develop a one-of-a-kind design that maximizes your home site’s potential.
Design, at its core, needs to make sense. We believe homes should be just that – a comfortable and practical place to live your best life, not a museum where form is more important than function. Our designs are tailored to maximize livability, with special emphasis placed on developing functional and efficient floorplans.
We work within a variety of styles by embracing the core principles of design: timeless details, balanced proportion, and unified design. Whether it’s a sprawling rustic ranch or a mid-century bungalow, all JW Stoddard & Associates designs reflect a common goal: to create a home that is beautiful, harmonious, and reflective of our collaborative vision.
LLANO LOUNGE
Surrounded by large Live Oak Trees, this contemporary rustic lodge creates a welcome retreat in the Texas Hill Country. Natural materials in earthy tones - rusted corrugated steel roofing and siding, rusted steel structure, Texan limestone, timber siding, and board-formed concrete - aims to blend in with the surrounding landscape. The layout of the lodge is designed to integrate with the existing trees, capture views, and respect the ruins of a former cabin that is original to the ranch. From the living room, one can enjoy beautiful views through a cluster of trees to sloping hills, red-faced cliffs, and a Texan sunset. One unique feature is the variety of porches, four in total. The southern porch is screened-in, while the other porches provide different views and places to sit and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of coffee, depending on the time of day.
