Forest House
‘Make it Mid-Century’ was the dictum for this home set among a forested parcel near The Woodlands. Designed with ‘zero thresholds’, the client’s ‘forever home’ allows them to age in place while hosting large family gatherings throughout the year. The home’s massing revolves around a central courtyard and pool, allowing the guest wing to be shut down while not in use, and vastly lowering the energy usage. Sustainable features of the home include rain water collection, solar harvesting, and drought tolerant landscaping, all targeting net zero energy usage.
