An Austin High-Rise Abode Has Sky High Style
“David and Melissa Rubin knew a few trade-offs would be inevitable when they decided to move their family from a large house in the suburbs to a high-rise apartment near parks, restaurants, and music venues in burgeoning downtown Austin. Although content with having a little less square footage to experience the excitement of urban living, there were two things they were not willing to sacrifice: a sense of comfort and a full-size billiards table. ‘During college, people would often call the pool hall looking for me,’ David says. ‘I spent a lot of time in school playing pool, poker and chess, and I still do on a regular basis.’ To preserve the Rubins’ familiar luxuries of home in their new abode, the couple enlisted the help of designer Mark Cravotta, architect Christopher Sanders—who had contributed to the design of the building itself—and builder David Wilkes.”
