## Resource

In this episode, Cherise is joined by Scott Specht, Founding Partner at Specht Novak Architects in Austin, Texas, who previously joined us in 2023 to discuss the New American House. Stealth House, also in Austin, Texas. You can see the project here as you listen along. Tucked along a gravel alley behind a row of traditional homes in downtown Austin, the Stealth House by Scott Specht of Specht Novak Architects is deliberately elusive. From the street, the 1,100-square-foot residence reveals almost nothing: a low, rust-colored steel façade, punctuated by the absence of outward-facing windows. Crossing the threshold reveals a radically different spatial experience. Sunlight pours through floor-to-ceiling glass that frames two verdant interior courtyards. Rather than opening outward toward the street, the house turns inward, creating a private landscape that mediates between architecture and nature.
