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.
MADRONE GUEST
HOUSE
A simple yet refined palette of board formed concrete, native Texan limestone, steel, and floor to ceiling glass creates a dynamic contrast to the wooded surroundings of the guest house.
An important feature to the design is the detached carport and its relationship to the guest house, creating a covered breezeway which is as functional as it is aesthetically important. The goal is to enhance and integrate the natural environment while maintaining privacy with the vertical louvered screen.
