The Commodore Perry house, designed by renowned Texas architect Henry Bowers Thompson and completed in 1928, is an historic 10-acre property located in the center of Austin close to the University of Texas.

Our project divides the site in two parts. The eastern part is developed as an Auberge-branded 53-room boutique hotel that includes the Perry Mansion and its elaborate gardens. The east side, which includes a part of Waller Creek and a magnificent creekside landscape, is developed as a housing project in a variety of types: a compound, courtyard housing and individual houses. The site is extensively landscaped around new and existing buildings, including a new pool.

The architecture of the hotel is inspired by the Tuscan classicism of the Perry House, and the housing by the vernacular house forms of Central Texas. The building is designed to be as durable and sustainable as possible, and is constructed out of robust materials and the highest quality of detailing.
