Back by popular demand, Austin's iconic Sand Dollar House is back for another live tour before going on the market!
Designed by famed Austin architect and Frank Loyd Wright apprentice,John Covert Watson,
the Sand Dollar House best exemplifies the organic architecture
movement of the 1970s. Watson sought to promote harmony between human
habitation and the natural world through a variety of methods. First,
the home embraces its surrounding environment with huge, blind-less
windows that give stunning 270° views of Lake Travis. Next, Watson
rejected artificial straight lines for flowing and more organic feeling
curvilinear walls. Finally, to top it all off (literally) the Sand
Dollar House features, well, a huge sand dollar for its roof. Its
teardrop skylights flood the home with light.
Originally built as home and studio for artist Eugenia Hunt in 1979, the Sand Dollar House has had a few owners in its lifetime. Come meet current owner Liz and get a rare inside look at a true Austin treasure.
