This home's unique linear floor plan, which forms a “U” shape around the pool, took maximum advantage of the odd-shaped lot. Using the topography to form two tiers of flower beds in back gave the pool and spa a beautiful backdrop. The spa and associated “cabana” with its hidden water sheers became the centerpiece of the back yard. Above all, the detail in this home is what made an impact on those who visited during the Showcase of Homes. Its spanish revival influences, along with its elegant cut stone details and hand-scraped wood floors, were crowd favorites. In addition to winning “Best Custom Home” in Texas, this home also won many other awards and was published in American Dream Homes magazine as their feature story.
