tower house

I love the tree house vibe that's going on with Tower House, by Andersson Wise Architects in Austin, TX. As the architects explain:

In considering an addition to the original, stone lodge at this Lake Travis property, the notion of a tower was born out of several factors: taking advantage of views, minimizing the footprint on the site, and accommodating the rising flood plain elevation.

Of course, any house with panoramic views of trees and water is something I'm going to love, but I think that this tower is particularly stunning.
