Environmental concerns and energy savings were given to the plumbing system too. This home has tank-less on-demand hot water heaters as well as duel flush toilets by Toto.

The insulation exceeds the requirements of code for the City. The exterior has a metal roof crowning a three layer application of stucco for even greater energy efficiency.

When the lot was purchased there was a huge, grand Pecan tree in the middle of the lot. The architect designed this home around the Pecan tree, which is a focal point of the courtyard. Sitting back away from the street most of the yard is the front yard, which is secure on all 4 sides by fencing. The utilities were brought in from the street underground to the home. The landscaping is designed to be drought tolerant and colorful using a lot of plant material that is native to the Austin area.

This is truly a masterpiece of a home for a smart buyer who is concerned about the environment and energy savings.
