The Big Idea
This reimagined Lake Austin retreat brings new life to a family property while preserving the ease and generosity of lakeside living. Positive Energy’s MEP engineering supports year-round comfort, healthy indoor air, and dependable performance across the renovated residence and boathouse.
Careful coordination allows the systems to settle quietly into Baldridge Architects’ crisp material palette and strong connection to the water. The result is durable, welcoming, and uncomplicated to inhabit—a retreat designed to serve the family beautifully for generations.
Photography
Great residential MEP work for world-class architecture is rarely seen because all of our coordination disappears behind walls and into refined details—and it simply works as intended. The photographers who capture the spirit of these homes so brilliantly remind us that what we create is beautiful because it is the sum of many parts forming a whole.
