Closed envelope construction, high efficiency multi-speed air conditioning, high efficiency windows and doors, are just a few of the items and features.

215 Carnarvon
Houston, TX 77024
Approx. 25,000+ sq. ft.

This expansive and inventive courtyard house on Carnarvon Drive takes all of the best elements of the Spanish Colonial so popular in Texas, California and Florida and combines them into a cohesive whole uniquely Houstonian. The u-shaped Main House along with its pool house and spa buildings almost completely enclose the large main courtyard where an irregular-shape pool meanders from one end to the other. The living and dining rooms, the kitchen and family room as well as the master bedroom and guest bedrooms all look out into this beautiful and inviting space. A porte cochere, garage, other out-buildings, a tennis court and autocourts complete this picturesque compound. Everywhere one looks is a framed view of something beautiful or interesting. Courtyards, decorative gates, iron lanterns, carved cantera stone columns, door surrounds, and fountains, balconies, loggias, colonnades, terraces, exterior stairs, lush plantings, stucco and clay tile roofing all contribute to this very desirable setting.

Inside, large rooms, tall ceilings and large french doors and windows give the house a less claustrophobic feeling than the typical historic spanish house. Major rooms flow from one space to the next in an almost organic way and with all major rooms oriented to the delightful views of the pool and courtyard. The living and dining rooms as well as the kitchen and family room all open directly to covered loggias. These wonderful interior and exterior spaces are all graced with massive salvaged pine beams and ceilings, with carved brackets supporting the interior ones. Wide plank wood flooring, deep walls, arched openings, deep paneled wooden doors and iron chandeliers and hardware all complete the picture of an estate grounded in its particular time and place and yet timeless in its beauty and style.

804 W. Friar Tuck
Houston, TX 77024
7,240 sq. ft.

804 W. Friar Tuck is the culmination of combining the owner's goals and desires, the builder's commitment to construction of the highest caliber, and the architect's creativity and neoclassical background.

The owner's expressed an interest in country french architecture. They liked the long roof lines, stone and stucco finishes and detailing and curved lines indicative of this style. From the steep pitched slate roof, copper gutters and downspouts, cast stone door and window surrounds and the wood clad carriage style garage doors, this home will possess ever-lasting curb appeal.

The interior spaces also demonstrate how a collaborative effort can yield dramatic results. Features such as a gourmet kitchen, timber-beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
