mueller rowhomes – austin, texas

A unique approach to the Habitat for Humanity model, the Mueller Rowhomes promote attractive architecture for an affordable budget. Providing a large community impact, the rowhomes are within the walkable Mueller neighborhood with close proximity to downtown Austin. Shade trees and ornamental trees line the front of the rowhomes to provide future growth, habitat, and shade. A native, low water, low maintenance planting palette was selected for future homeowners to enjoy long term. A shared use path connects the rowhomes to the greater trail system and provides accessibility to the wide variety of pocket parks Mueller has to offer. Paseos are also used to connect the lots and further enhance connectivity throughout, encouraging walkability and connection to each other and the neighborhood. The development is setting a new precedent for the organization, creating an example for future builds.
