The brief

A bold architectural statement in the heart of Meyerland — where modern design meets intentional living.

Three levels organized around a double-height entry volume. Walls of glass on three sides; a covered terrace that reads less like an amenity and more like a fifth room. Warm wood, pale oak, blackened steel, white quartz — and the architecture gets out of the way of the light.

00 Aerial.

Aerial view of 5734 N Braeswood and surrounding canopy
Set into Meyerland's mature oak canopy — minutes from the loop, miles from the noise.

A corner lot on N Braeswood, framed by full-grown trees and the Brays Bayou greenway. The footprint stays low and wide; the upper volumes step back to keep the canopy intact.
