Experience lakefront living at Chapel Hill Road, where the home is perfectly sited to capture views of White Rock Lake. The design steps down with the sloping hill, allowing for a primary suite that opens directly to the pool.
Music lovers will appreciate the sound-isolated music room, which features a patio that doubles as a stage. The second floor offers even more to explore, including a large game room and offices with sprawling lake views.
Trailview Residence
Ghost Architects
Trailview, also known as Vertex House, is a stunning 4,200 square foot home that combines modern design with the warmth of mid-century style. Perched at the peak of a hill near White Rock Lake, architect Michael Gooden designed this space for his own family, turning a unique lot into a series of beautiful outdoor rooms and private balconies.
You’ll love the striking details, from the weathered steel pivot door to the light-filled artist’s studio on the second level. Every room captures a view of the trees or the petite swimming pool, making this home a peaceful retreat in the middle of a busy neighborhood.
Santa Clara Residence
Neatbuilt
The Santa Clara project shows that you don’t need a massive footprint to have a great home. This design keeps the cozy feel of a small cottage while providing plenty of space for guests and everyday comfort.
A concrete bridge connects the original structure to a new two-story addition, creating a private courtyard along the way. With its native grass garden and clever use of space, this home fits perfectly into the rhythm of the neighborhood.
Club Oaks Residence
Marc McCollom Architect
Overlooking the fairway of a golf course, this home was built to celebrate its scenic location. The heart of the house is a grand “wooden room” with 15-foot ceilings, exposed beams, and large windows that invite the outside in.
The layout is cleverly divided into three distinct areas for the public, the primary residents, and the rest of the family. Each section offers its own unique terrace or balcony, ensuring everyone has a private spot to enjoy the views.
Alcott Residence
Dan Shipley Architects
Nestled among 1930s bungalows, the Alcott Street home uses warm materials and a smart layout to feel like it has always belonged. The design features a long, narrow floor plan that creates a series of connected outdoor spaces for the family to enjoy.
With numerous doors connecting the inside and out, this house is built for entertaining. Come see how modern architecture can enhance a historic neighborhood while providing a comfortable place for modern living.
Vickery Boulevard Townhomes
Modern Living
The Vickery townhouses bring a bold, urban energy to a quiet, tree-lined street near the popular Katy Trail. These three-story homes offer the best of city living, featuring private courtyards with their own pools and spacious outdoor terraces for grilling.
Inside, you’ll find open, loft-style living areas that glow with natural light from central glass walls. These homes are elegant yet approachable, providing a luxurious escape right in the heart of the city.
Douglas Residence
Mitchell Garman Architects
Witness a remarkable transformation at Douglas Avenue, where a 1983 condominium has been completely reimagined for today’s lifestyle. The architects opened up the kitchen and added warm walnut shelving to create a bright, inviting home.
You’ll find delightful surprises throughout, like a round window in the powder room and windows that frame mature pear trees like living art. This remodel proves that smart updates can make any space feel fresh and modern.
Durango Residence
Harper + Drummond Davis Architects
Durango Drive offers a refined take on traditional home shapes, using a minimal lens to create something timeless. One of its most unique features is a gravel roof that adds unexpected texture and softness to the exterior.
Inside, a “jewel box” dining room serves as a character-filled centerpiece, while a glass-enclosed sunroom brings an airy lightness to the second floor. A detached guest house serves as a perfect home office, making this property as functional as it is beautiful.
Harper Landing Residence
The Design Shop
Designed for a family of six, Harper Landing is a masterclass in how a home can support an active lifestyle. The design features an indoor gymnasium and a central interior courtyard that brings sunlight deep into the heart of the house.
Step outside to explore the extensive grounds, which include structured play areas and a serene private pond. This home isn’t just a place to live; it’s a living showcase of high-quality craftsmanship and thoughtful planning.
