A wooded-lot home in white-painted brick and patinated bronze, framed for the live oaks instead of around them.
The brief was a single sentence: a house that disappears into the canopy in summer and holds the room in winter. The site was a flag lot off Memorial — eighty-year-old oaks on three sides, a setback that pushed the footprint deep, and a soils report that asked us to be careful where we put weight.
The plan resolved into three bars stepping with the slope, joined by a glass spine that lets the trees finish the architecture. White-painted brick stays cool against the heat; patinated bronze rails carry the same line across every level.
Stardem held a single trade window from foundations to dry-in to keep the year-one walkthrough on the calendar. The owners moved in two weeks ahead of schedule.
