This modern bungalow designed for a single owner is an elegant counterpoint to the ongoing Houston trend of building oversized houses on inner city lots. Designed simply as a series of courtyards, a combination of indoor and outdoor, private and semi-private space, the house “de-forms” to become the residual element between these controlled, yet fluid, spaces.

“The Hill Country has a strong tradition of design using its local materials and simple regional forms,” says Dallas architect Stephen Chambers. In this region of Texas, local means limestone, and the regional forms of steeply pitched metal roofs, deep porches, and wide overhangs. To create the look of a ranch house that has evolved over the years, Steve broke the house into a series of wings. Varied rooflines, window configurations, and dormers also enhance the feeling of an ongoing expansion. Photo © 2019 Peter Larsen.

Early morning light enters the western edge of my yard in the spring & summer. The row of spruce were planted over 40 years ago, and I have limbed them up to open up the yard for planting additional layers of native plants. The barren area between the two white rocks is the focus planting area for natives right now, with close ups of planting in progress between 2013-14 and ongoing.

This was an ongoing project for an amazing couple. Included was a custom-designed rustic kitchen featuring Maritime Beach wood throughout, custom Island, solid wood rangehood and matching pantry door. We also installed a rough sawn Douglas Fir stair railing with rebar details, custom laundry room cabinetry and three bathroom vanities. What an amazing home!

A house floating on water—or so it seems. Responding to the lakeside site, the building unfolds in four segments connected by footbridges. Pitched roofs of Corten steel hover above walls clad in stacked limestone and reclaimed timber. A Tennessean sanctuary of space and light, as serene as a pagoda, as homey as a ranch.
