Clarksville — Austin, Texas

Charlie Rice is the sort of person you’d want for a neighbor. Not only because
his bungalow is always brimming with joyful gatherings, freshly cut flowers,
and the occasional swing band on the front porch, but also because—if you’re
lucky—you might even clinch an invite to one of his famous five-course dinner
parties.

We retrofitted an antique oak-back bar with mirrored
glass and lighting to create a cozy glow reminiscent
of a 1920s speakeasy. Nothing has ever felt more quintessentially Austin than this entertainer’s jewel
box bachelor pad.
