Featured architects on the home tour are below:
- A | Michael Bennett, AIA, of Bennett Benner Partners: The 8,700-square-foot Park Hill new build contemporary includes four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, two living rooms, and an office. Anchored by a double height gallery space which serves as a visual axis between the front entry and backyard views, the property takes advantage of its long, sweeping northwest views.
- B | Jason Eggenburger, AIA, and Steven Halliday, AIA, of 97w: The 3,200-square-foot loft apartment in Fairmount is part of the architects’ award-winning renovation of the 94-year-old The College Avenue Baptist Church Annex, and features two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, one living room, and a roof deck patio. The architect saved important architectural elements, while incorporating modern features to create a mix between existing and new.
- C | Brandon E. Allen, AIA, of Allen Architecture: The newly-constructed Ryan Place home is 1,850 square feet of modernly-detailed infill construction that offers three bedrooms, two-and-a half-bathrooms, and one living room. To respect the context of an established neighborhood, simple materials were used, such as waxed concrete floors, subway tiles, and monochromatic drywall.
- D | Joe Self, AIA, of Firm817: The 820-square-foot secondary structure to an existing, single family home in Tanglewood contains one bedroom, one bathroom, and a living room. Every detail of this project is meticulously designed, coordinated and constructed, from the retractable bed to the custom lighting to the memorialized tree location in the wood floor.
- E | Randall C. Gideon, FAIA, and Ibañez Shaw Architecture (AOR): Situated on the banks of the Trinity River and designed by the architect for himself and his wife, this new split-level River District home places the daily living functions at street level, leaving the lower level for guest quarters. This 7,600-square-foot modern boasts three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, two living rooms, and an office.
