Chamberlain Hrdlicka Houston

Chamberlain Hrdlicka enlisted Gensler to renovate its downtown Houston office into a more modern and welcoming environment for its employees and clients. Focusing on themes of transparency, teamwork, and engagement, the design team strategically planned a space that offers a functional workflow and developed workplace neighborhoods that create adjacencies and an ease of accessibility between colleagues. A notable design feature is the connective staircase that anchors the office’s two floors and allows employees direct access to hospitality-like amenity areas. Overall, the new space exemplifies Chamberlain Hrdlicka’s commitment to creating an environment that reinforces the value the firm places on its people and the desire to b... More

The Stratulate-Forotan Residence

Located at 6008 Memorial, Houston, Texas. It is the transformation of a 2003 post-modern style residence, into an updated modern/contemporary home. The homeowners did not want to tear it down and start over, so it was up to us to bring it up to date. Key design elements are a total exterior facelift, opening up the interior public space, adding a new modern staircase and fireplace, total renovation of the kitchen area, adding a new awesome walk-in wine refrigerator, updating the master suite, and all of the bathrooms, completely redesigning of the 2nd floor spaces, and creating an awesome backyard outdoor area - with pool, kitchen, etc... It sits just down the street across from the LeBlanc-Cox residence, which was the feature home on the 1... More

The Griffis Residence

It is a 4,600 square foot, one story, Mediterranean style residence, with 3,100 square feet of garage space, a grand front courtyard space and expansive rear porches. The key to this project was to design the residence to take advantage of its wooded one acre lot, without losing the sense of human scale and proportion.  A perfect home for a car collector.  Located in Bender's Landing Estates, Spring, Texas.

This house has 3,400 square feet of air conditioned space, including: 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, 3 car garage, awesome porches, and a great location in Houston, Texas. This is an all steel framed contemporary "Victorian-esque" style residence (all steel equals no rot or termite problems in the future), designed to resemble the Louisiana homes in which the owner grew up living in.  Love the color of the exterior.

The Walji-Raissian Residence

A 3,800 square foot, 4 story modern home. Cool project and clients!  The key was to work around the 3 existing large trees, and still be able to get all of the spaces in the program. We also have awesome views from all levels, the best are from the 4th floor terrace - looking towards downtown Houston and to Transco Tower.  This house is featured on the 2019 Houston Modern Home Tour and published in September 2019's issue of Houston House and Home magazine.

The Policello Residence

A Mediterranean contemporary residence that I designed for clients building in Houston. We wanted to keep the interior light and open, and go with a more minimalist scheme. On the 2nd floor, we did an entire apartment setup, so someone can live there independently if needed. The main public spaces all open up to each other, making the interior feel even larger. The pool is covered with a large screened-in lanai. The homeowners are happy, so I am happy, and it looks great inside and out. More

THE RICE RESIDENCE

This project is really two parts: a main house and a guest apartment/work shop, which is constructed in the city of Bellaire, Texas. The main house is a 5,000 square foot residence, and the guest apartment/work shop is comprised of an 1,100 square foot apartment above an 1,100 square foot work shop. This house is designed in a contemporary "Victorian" style, in which most of the excess decoration is stripped away. More
