Austin, Texas–(Newsfile Corp. – March 20, 2025) – Acclaimed architectural firm Bowery Design Group today announced an exclusive partnership with listing agent CJ Shaffer to transform a rare 5-acre flat terrain property in Austin’s prestigious Westlake community into an architectural masterpiece for the city’s most discerning luxury real estate collectors.

This extraordinary collaboration combines principal Thomas Fanning’s visionary design approach with Shaffer’s intimate knowledge of the premium Austin market. The property represents one of the last remaining large, flat parcels in Westlake – a community known for its challenging topography that typically limits architectural possibilities.

“What makes this opportunity truly exceptional is the ability to create a sprawling, connected first-level footprint that’s simply impossible to achieve elsewhere in Westlake,” said Thomas Fanning, founder and principal of Bowery Design Group. “The unique flat terrain allows us to incorporate elements like expansive sports courts and statement garages that luxury buyers demand but rarely find in Austin’s hill country.”

The property’s rare topographical advantage enables a revolutionary architectural approach that maximizes usability and functionality across a single level.

The visionary concept includes:

• A sprawling main residence with uninterrupted sightlines throughout the primary living areas

• Multiple entertainment zones that flow effortlessly from interior to exterior spaces

• Professional-grade sports facilities integrated into the landscape design

• Collector’s garage accommodations are designed for automotive enthusiasts

• Panoramic hill country views preserved through strategic orientation

“From the moment you ascend onto this property, you immediately recognize the extraordinary volume of space opening toward the hill country vista,” Fanning explained. “Our design philosophy centers on preserving the integrity of this land rather than subdividing it – creating a singular dwelling that complements and enhances the natural setting.”

The architectural vision for the estate incorporates contemporary natural elements that honor Austin’s distinctive landscape while elevating the design to international standards. This approach positions the property as a compelling alternative for ultra-high-net-worth individuals who might otherwise restrict their property search to established luxury markets like Beverly Hills or Malibu.
