This “Cape Cod Modern” inspired residence is 6,000 sqft and is situated on ¼ acre of land in central Houston. Located on level one is the garage, foyer, mud room and guest suite. This 3,100 sf home is located one block from historic Emancipation Park, and is part of a revitalization wave in the 3rd Ward/EaDO districts. The design is conceived for a mature, active family that enjoys close proximity to Memorial Park and the city’s other cultural activities. The main living area of this home is open to the backyard, with large overhangs providing shade for the interior, important for those hot Australian days. Natural finished oak floors, fir wood doors and pine wood moldings bring warmth to the interior.
Each wing of the house needed to match each other so that we could span between them simply with the screened roof. Situated on a tight lot brought the building to the limits of the setbacks so that we could maximize the courtyard footprint. A drawback of the site was the lack of privacy in the courtyard from the rear neighbors. Although they have an 8’ privacy fence, there was still a significant view from the neighbor’s second story windows. To compensate for that, I designed a roofed connection between the rear ends of the wings and a louvered upper wall to add additional layer of privacy to the rear of the courtyard.

The boundaries between these spaces are blurred with the use of crazy pavers that gently extend from the interiors to the grassy outdoor areas. The architects updated the kitchen, dining, and living area in the process to improve spatial flow, added a new playroom, and gave the interiors minor facelift.
