From Sketch To Reality
Watch the Spring Branch home travel from a dimensioned pencil elevation to the finished house. Dimensions are illustrative and not to scale. See all 13 projects from sketch to reality.
Light pours through walls of windows, and glass railings keep every level open.
Graphic, Modern And Bright
Charcoal and white volumes and a frosted-glass garage door give the facade a crisp, graphic presence on the street.
Light From Every Direction
Airy, expansive rooms are washed in natural light from the many windows. A fireplace column rises through the double-height living room, and panes of glass line the floating stair, upper landing and loft, giving the open plan a larger-than-life sense of space.
