Richard Drummond Davis is the architect of our cover house. He has been an architect for over 40 years and believes the painstaking refinement of proportion and detail establishes the character of a truly great building.
This is particularly true of this residence which has four foot deep flat-roofed, cantilevered eaves that give the illusion of a roof that is totally flat making the look more modern. Beyond the flat cantilevered eaves, the roof is gently pitched creating an attic for housing the mechanical equipment, storage, and for a buffered air space to isolate the second floor from the intense Texas sun.
In the great room, there is a floating open walkway forming a bridge that connects both wings of the second floor. This walkway includes LED lights and glass rail with access to the main floor via two different staircases. There are numerous design elements in this residence including a 3D custom made wood panel wall with built-in LED lights in the dining room and a chandelier that features hand-blown glass accents manufactured by Hammerton.
The office features a tailor-made designed desk with marble accents. The desk can be used as either a stand-up desk or as a traditional desk for ease of use for the homeowner. To complete this room, the design team utilized stone from the Stone Collection called Nero Marquina that mirrors the marble on the desk for the accent walls and fireplace.
This residence also includes numerous floor to ceiling windows that capture the natural light but not the heat of the direct sun, thanks to the cantilevered eaves of the roof. In addition, several of the large glass doors in the downstairs living area fold and stack to create large openings out to covered porches and terraces.
