The building's long facade faces an inner court with parking, a requirement not only for Houston but for having a business in the building. The garage is visible on the right; this may be the farthest from the street, but it helps to create more pleasant street frontages (without hulking garage doors) and sets a precedent for the other residences.The architects described it to me: "We were required by code to have a garage to meet our parking requirements — we have a business occupancy downstairs and residential occupancy above — but we actually don’t park in the garage. Instead we use it as a woodshop/model-making zone and staging for our construction projects." Further, "it has two garage doors at 90 degrees on adjacent walls, so it also can be opened as a covered area for outdoor events, which we like to have in the gravel area when we move the cars away — parking by day and gathering space during nonwork hours."

I would be hard pressed to focus on architects' own houses without showing a live-work space. Intexture Architects designed this live-work building in Houston, sitting right next to a few houses the firm designed and developed as part of the Museum Park Modern development. The working space is downstairs, and the living realm is upstairs. Therefore the house is more private than the office space, which certainly makes sense.

I like the tall slim windows that show off the stairs. I can see a pod building with multiple levels and the stairways are viewed through this slim glass wall..

Tall center structure functioning here as stairwell/elevator? Made of flat stone, a lovely contrast to rest of building. Adding this protrusion also works with pitched roof lines.
