The Kayak House is sited across the street from Festival Shores in East Austin. The owners, two kayak enthusiasts, purchased the property based on its proximity to Town Lake, a short portage across the park. The project is a second and third-floor addition to an existing house, with multiple decks. The second floor comprises a master bedroom, bathroom, closets, and a two-story office space with access to a third-floor loft. A roof deck atop the addition allows for unimpeded views of Town Lake and downtown Austin.
