Westlake Dermatology Georgetown / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Susanna Moreira — Thu, 21 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

This medical office building was designed to be an embodiment of the Westlake Dermatology brand, "the gold standard for cosmetic dermatology". With its prominent location on Williams Drive, the building's crisp modern form and clean, well detailed materials serves as a billboard for the WD brand aesthetic and quality.

Mount Sharp Residence / Matt Fajkus Architecture

After years of weekend visits and time spent getting to know their site, the client's main charge was to realize a house that would allow them to use and enjoy the land to its fullest. Located in the rolling landscape of Wimberley, Texas, it was only natural to take advantage of the miniature plateaus contained within the 22-acre lot. These "land shelves" span across the site in the east-west direction making them an ideal platform for a house that takes advantage of both solar and wind orientation.

Descendant House / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 07 Sep 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Descendant House allows three generations to co-exist harmoniously in a single structure through a balance of independence and interconnection. Each family unit has its own private zone complimented by a unique interaction with the landscape while also being connected to one another through cooking and gathering areas that form the heart of the home.

Filtered Frame Dock / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Hadir Al Koshta — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 07:00:00 +0000

This dock is a structure that negotiates between the realms of land, water, and sky by framing one’s experience and understanding of the natural environment, above, along, and in the water. Located at the base of a steeply sloping ravine with leads to a residence elevated above the water, the dock is intentionally crafted as an integrated component of the overall site conditions.

Manifold House / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Valeria Silva — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 16:00:00 +0000

Manifold House is a straightforward gable form sliced open to create a series of unique spatial experiences that capitalize on the varied relationships between the building, the user, and the natural site context. Marrying a three-story program with a hilltop site, the home is partially embedded into its hilltop site connecting to the sky and surrounding vistas by building up.

Bracketed Space House / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 15:00:00 +0000

Incorporating the site’s dynamic landscape into the daily life of its residents, the Bracketed Space House is designed as a meaningfully-framed procession through the property with nuanced natural lighting throughout. A continuous and jogging retaining wall from outside to inside embeds the structure below natural grade at the front with flush transitions at its rear facade. All indoor spaces open up to a courtyard which terraces down to the tree canopy, creating a readily visible and occupiable transitional space between man-made and nature.

Hewn House / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 27 Aug 2019 17:00:00 +0000

The cabin typology redux came out of the owner’s desire to have a house that is warm and familiar, but also “feels like you are on vacation.” The basis of the “Hewn House” design starts with a cabin’s simple form and materiality: a gable roof, a wood-clad body, a prominent fireplace that acts as the hearth, and integrated indoor-outdoor spaces. However, rather than a purely rustic aesthetic, the scheme proposes a clean-lined and “hewned” form, sculpted, to best fit on its urban infill lot.

Westlake Dermatology Marble Falls / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 15:00:00 +0000

Westlake Dermatology’s location in Marble Falls was a ground-up design project strengthened by a collaborative process directly with the clients and consultants. Situated along a major Texas highway to the east and overlooking gentle hills to the west, the new medical building is intentionally subtle, minimizing the visual presence of the new construction. The nuanced concrete and glass shell merges with the designed landscape architecture, enveloping the comfortable, bright, and open interior is calm and quiet as one transition from the road, through a garden zone, and into the space overlooking the Texas Hill Country.

Creekbluff Studio / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Fri, 04 May 2018 16:00:00 +0000

Despite mathematical logic, sometimes 1 + 1 = 3. The home office addition not only complements the existing house and balances the dynamic West Austin lot but also created a newly framed portal to an adjacent creek and a rich landscape beyond. As a flexible space for both working and entertaining, the addition is fit for three to five employees while accommodating gatherings and parties.

AUTOHAUS / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 23 Oct 2017 13:00:00 +0000

The Autohaus is a car collectors’ garage and residence in central Texas. The design features compact living quarters, expressed as a single mass, floating above an open area for flexible gathering and automobile calibration/display. The second-floor volume is shifted forward to allow for double-height views to the garage space at the back while creating an everyday carport beneath the hovering bedchamber in the front.

Main Stay House / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Sat, 21 May 2016 05:00:00 +0000

Austin’s Bouldin Creek neighborhood provides a unique and ever-changing context to the Main Stay House. The challenges were both cultural and site-specific. The Main Stay House exists as a simple and straightforward proposal – an architectural experiment on domesticity - enabling lifestyle flexibility through clean forms, relatable materiality, and an urban infill living space that blurs the lines between inside and outside.

Tree House / Matt Fajkus Architecture

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Balanced shade, dappled sunlight, and tree canopy views are the basis of the 518 Sacramento Drive house design. The entry is on center with the lot’s primary Live Oak tree, and each interior space has a unique relationship to this central element.
