Retro Modern in East Austin
Architectural photographer Ryann Ford's home is part of a new development of unique alternative modern homes in East Austin. Built in 2006 by Emily Little of Clayton Levy Little, the three-star green rated home in Agave Austin takes cues from International Style and Modern architecture.
The interior includes a vibrant color palette with retro-modern flair. Ford is an avid traveler, fond of Route 66, and some of the greatest decorative pieces in her home were found abandoned in the middle of the desert.

The focal piece of the living room is an oversized vintage "cafe" sign Ford found on the side of Route 66. The cactus also speaks to much of her décor's desert origins.

Concrete floors are becoming increasing popular in modern design, and have become some what of a signature look for Austin homes. The eco-friendly staircase is made out of recycled pressed bamboo.

The view from the top of the stairs is breathtaking thanks to the height, view to the ground floor and windows on both sides of the house. Two blue-and-white checkered signs Ford found abandoned in the desert are her favorite art pieces in the house.

The upstairs office, filled with vibrant color and retro Texas state surplus items, is where she feels most at home. The wall is magnetic chalkboard paint, great for proofing photographic prints in natural sunlight.
