Farquhar Residence
This modern residence, designed by Bodron / Fruit and located on a lake in the Devonshire neighborhood, maximizes views while nestling into the landscape. The home engages the natural environment and creates a dialog with an enormous heritage live oak in the front and the lake to the rear. As you enter the home, the lake is revealed from the entry way through a glass handrail staircase. Moving through the primary spaces on the main level, the rooms have generous views of the lake to the north or the trees to the south. The upper level with the primary suite and salon continues these views from above. While the home is three stories, it is recessed into the landscape to fit into the topography and create a dynamic connection along the lakeside. At the lower level, a long infinity pool adjacent the lake extends the connection of the architecture with the landscape.
The residence features large porches on the front and the back of the home for entertaining. The front porch features an outdoor kitchen. At the lower level by the pool, a grotto tucked beneath the main level provides a place to relax and enjoy the pool on a hot summer day. Clad in a fossil filled Texas limestone, Douglas fir siding, and a copper roof, the material palette reflects the natural tones of the landscape. With large windows providing expansive views from the home, deep overhangs and the heritage oak shield the home from the solar heat gain. The home also has automated solar shades and a geothermal HVAC system for energy conservation. The project team designed the architecture and interiors with a rich but subdued palette, using the natural hues from the limestone and white oak floors to complement the owner’s art collection. Furniture was selected for its clean lines and comfort; united in tone but varied in texture.

Highland Park Residence
The Highland Park residence creates an extraordinary environment with building and landscape intertwined so its owners live in new and unexpected ways. An unadulterated stone bar hovers precariously at the building line, bends to define a private setting, and cantilevers 34’ at the entry – creating an unexpected lawn and entry sequence at the street and a private courtyard beyond. A separate gallery provides a carefully calibrated setting for a significant rotating collection of art.
A series of expectations are created from the outset, and unanticipated spaces unfold as the visitor meanders through the property. Inside, one is alternatively drawn horizontally into the landscape and further into the house; the living room is carved into the stone bar above providing a space of unexpected height, while bewildering curved glass panels and enormous retracting glass doors encourage the transition through the building into the landscape. Raw and refined finishes are paired throughout, with mill finished steel abutting carefully composed Indiana limestone panels, and custom, hand-made tile & glazed volcanic stones from Guadalajara couple with refined walnut cabinetry & stainless steel fixtures. Impeccably detailed throughout, the building provides both a tangible material presence and an abstract ground against which the vicissitudes of nature, art and social occasion are highlighted.
