Reimagined to Spec
Mark Ashby Design ’ s Christina Simon was thrilled at the opportunity to reimagine a spec house to meet the needs of the homeowners . The pied-à-terre , located just steps from Austin ’ s buzzing South Congress Avenue , was transformed into a beautiful custom space for entertaining .
The entrance to the home is tucked away , while the rest of the front yard opens up to a swimming pool and terraced outdoor living space . The design team had only four months to renovate . “ Creating a highly custom look with one-of-a-kind furniture and fixtures in such a short timeframe is very difficult and high adrenaline but also rewarding and exciting ,” says Christina .
