This 2-story home was designed and built in 2001. Constructed on a corner lot in the Montrose neighborhood of Houston, with south and west street elevations. It was built with an open floor plan and a two-story living/dining area that separates the upstairs bedrooms

The extreme rectangular shape is derived from the massing of the project. The front of the house participates in the urban theater of narrow streets and sidewalks, while the rear integrates into the layout of the city block with a smaller courtyard. The long side of the house faces a large park. The first floor is one large space with exposed beams that support the second floor. The rhythm of the structural beams above reflect the different spatial functions below. The front of the house faces west with an open expanse to a large park. Sun control for the western wall is achieved with hot-dipped galvanized perforated metal panels. The panels are lantern-like when lit at night.
