Borrowing from Mid-Century Modern concepts enhanced for contemporary use and materials, the design calls for two levels of residence above a sub-terranian garage tucked under the upper floors, maximizing function for a limited lot size. Large windows and glazed door systems optimize surrounding views to the neighborhood’s backdrop of old-growth trees. More information on house features.

A new residence and detached three-car garage with apartment above located in University Park, Texas. The main house is two stories with third story loft. There are numerous amenities designed on the property represented by site structures and swimming pool. These elements include an outdoor kitchen, covered walkway, fire pit and modern pergola. Detailed metal work design was incorporated into the fence and interior/exterior railings. The styling of the house has Tudor leanings, with a simpler and modern approach to detailing and form.
The one-story design takes advantage of a steeply-sloped and well-vegetated hillside overlooking Lake Granbury. The house takes a linear form boasting lake views from each and every occupiable space, and bedrooms and living areas access the cantilevered deck, blurring the lines between the interior and exterior living experience.

This two-story lake Rustic Modern retreat is perched on a plateau overlooking Lake Granbury. The steep terrain leads down to the surface of the water some 75 feet below. Limited buildable area on the site logically led to the two level concept. The dwelling boasts lake views from each and every occupiable space. Multiple eating, sleeping and living areas have direct access to the cantilevered deck, blurring the lines between the interior and exterior living experience. Large windows and glazed door systems optimize views to the lake as well as the surrounding neighborhood’s vegetated backdrop.
