"Savoring the Life Aquatic\nIn Austin, a Cluster of Unique Lakeside Dwellings Celebrates a Love of Water\nOn a scenic reservoir of the Colorado River in Austin, Texas, Ted Flato, of the architectural firm Lake/Flato, designed a 6,000-square-foot modern village\u2014three guesthouses and a main house\u2014for his clients that appears to float on water. \"I wanted to evoke a fishing camp's casual feeling,\" says Flato.\nThe screened boathouse serves as an \"outdoor\" living space. The New York-based design firm Stonefox worked with the couple, who collect modern and Minimalist art, to integrate their pieces into the house. A stainless-steel-and-spun-aluminum ceiling fixture, by David Weeks, mobilizes with the wind off the lake.\nThe arrangement of buildings, linked by a boardwalk, lends a village feel to the property. Flato used cypress siding, ipe decking and copper rooftops to create a rustic but modern look. The boardwalk runs from the lake to the main house and continues toward the guesthouses and entrance at the end of the site.\nThe site plan.\nIn one part of the living area, midcentury furnishings include a Finn Juhl Chieftain chair, right, an Isamu Noguchi Rocking stool and a pair of George Nakashima Slab Coffee tables. The rare and early Warren McArthur side chair, at the desk, has horsehair from old World Weavers. Bergamo sofa fabric. Rug from odegard.\nUntitled by Richard Serra hangs at left in the dining room, which looks out to a steel arbor. A Karl Springer table in lacquered parchment is surrounded by leather Cab chairs.\nThe master bedroom, which shares the limestone wall with the adjacent lap pool, \"feels like a sleeping porch in the garden,\" notes Flato.\nThe lap pool extends from the master suite to the lakeside cabana. Silicone planters add a sculptural touch to the landscaping along the limestone walkway.\nA slate sculpture by Richard Long offers a focal point on the expanse of grass that fills the outdoor peninsula between the living area porch and the lake."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
