McKinney York Architects’ Writer’s Retreat in West Austin was recognized with a MAX Award from the Home Builders Association (HBA), celebrating the project’s thoughtful design and attention to detail.

Designed as a serene backyard sanctuary, this accessory dwelling unit offers a peaceful retreat for solitude and rejuvenation. Airy interiors, warm post-oak flooring and a wrap-around porch create an inviting environment that connects indoor and outdoor living.

The award recognizes the collaborative efforts of the project team and highlights the power of thoughtful residential design to create meaningful, inspiring spaces.
