University Park, Texas
Two parallel bars define a central courtyard; brick, oak, and bronze hold the material palette steady throughout.
Princeton is organized as two parallel bars separated by a full-height glazed courtyard; every principal room borrows daylight from the courtyard as well as from the perimeter.
The public wing gathers living, dining, and kitchen; the private wing holds the study and the family bedrooms — the two are joined only by a low bridge above the courtyard.
Materials are held to three notes throughout: hand-molded brick, rift white oak, and oiled bronze, each carried inside and out so that the reading of the house is continuous.
