Above Stratford Residence

A Contemporary Austin Home Reimagined

Above Stratford is a luxury residential renovation that transforms a dark, traditional home into a light-filled contemporary retreat. Thoughtful architectural interventions, refined materials, and sculptural details frame sweeping downtown Austin views while creating a relaxed, resort-inspired atmosphere. From the art-forward entry to the cantilevered pool overlooking the city, Above Stratford exemplifies how a thoughtful renovation can elevate an existing home into a timeless, modern sanctuary that celebrates indoor-outdoor living at its finest.
