This single family home is located on a 5400sf lot in Central Houston and surrounded by mostly 3-4 story multi-family residential and townhouse structures. The exterior form is an interplay of plane, mass, and void, designed to break the monotony of the repetitious townhouse form that is otherwise prevalent along the street. The main living spaces are on the first floor and open to the rear covered patio, pool and yard via a wall of glass sliding doors. Exterior materials - brick and wood - are brought into the interior to further blur the line between interior and exterior space.
