Home Tour :: Alyson Fox
August 27th, 2014
Launch the Gallery
“The listing we found just said ‘VIEW,’” says Alyson Fox of the rustic green hilltop she and her husband (creative director Derek Dollahite) would eventually build their future home on. “There were no pictures or anything. And when we finally drove out here, we knew right away it was special.” The two decided to take a chance and leave central Austin for the small town of Spicewood, about 25 miles outside of town. Together, they designed an incredible Neutra-esque hill country escape that fuses concrete, copper, wood, and glass. The project was truly a family affiar — Fox’s brother-in-law served as general contractor and together, the three creatives built the house from the ground up. With massive glass windows and an open floor plan, the home they built serves as a place of creative inspiration that quietly celebrates that most important aspect — the view.

I love Alyson’s house almost as much as I love her humble and artistic spirit. When I interviewed her a couple years ago, she’d just moved into this gorgeous space, and seeing the house set right into the Texas hill country when we rounded a bend was breathtaking. So fun to see the little touches she’s added since then. Beautiful photos, Jessica, and lovely interview, Jenn! xo
I would love to know where she got the daybed in her guest room. I’m in the market and that one is perfect!
Hi DMD! Alyson said the bed is from ikea. Not sure if they still make it or not!
Probably my favorite house tour EVER. Wow.
Right?!! It’s just so gorgeous.
wow, what an absolutely fantastic home! this is one of my favorites that has ever been featured on camille styles.
This is such a gorgeous home! I love how open the layout is and all the natural light from the windows. The exposed wood is a nice touch.

love the photography on this piece!
and the home is beautifully serene and so perfectly suited to those sweeping hill country views.
Amazing home! Loved the views and clean lines.
Great post.
Whoa. This piece is amaze.
So amazing, can’t stop clicking through the pictures.
One question: When can I move in?!
What a stunning, thoughtfully designed space. If I ever had a dream home, this would be it.
Breathtaking! What an amazing space.
I would love to know where she found that wall sink in the guest bath! I’ve been looking for one just like it!
What kind of plant is that in the shower that can handle the heat of the water?
I’d like to know the make and model of her refrigerator.

I would love to know where the copper towel rod is from. Love the bathroom.
[…] 3. Austin New Build – Ironically, I am equally inspired by this home which was built new from the ground up. I’m drawn to the open layout, warm wood tones, dark kitchen cabinetry and the abundance of natural light. My dream house has tons of natural light and comes with a lifetime window cleaning service
This home was actually featured twice last year. See more of it here. […]
Who makes the rustic wall mounted sink in your bathroom. It’s simply beautiful.
