Located in Houston, Texas, this custom residence embraces a design philosophy rooted in simplicity, natural light, and seamless integration with the outdoors. The architecture is defined by low, horizontal rooflines, wide overhangs, and a restrained material palette that emphasizes clean lines and functional clarity. Floor-to-ceiling glazing along primary living spaces invites natural light deep into the home and frames curated views of the surrounding landscape, fostering a strong indoor-outdoor connection.
The open-plan layout is organized around a central living area that connects effortlessly with the kitchen and dining spaces. Natural materials like brick, porcelain tile flooring, and rift-sawn white oak millwork along with an earth tone color palate provides warmth and texture, grounding the home while creating a timeless aesthetic. Clerestory windows and carefully placed openings ensure balanced daylighting and a dynamic interplay of shadow and light throughout the day.
Subtle interior touches- bold colors, geometric patterns, and natural elements drawn from the homeowners’ Moroccan heritage lend an unexpected layer of richness and global character without overwhelming the overall design.
Outdoor areas—including a private courtyard, landscaped patios, and a covered terrace—extend the living space and invite year-round enjoyment. The result is a home that feels serene, refined, and deeply attuned to both its environment and the lifestyle of its inhabitants.
