Vertigo58 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Wish there were pics like the person noted on Chron. Maybe the owner's prefer it that way. Can't blame them I guess. Privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertigo58 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Salazar House. Unlike many new houses in old neighborhoods, this small but elegant one - two bedrooms, 2,300-square feet -- takes care not to dwarf its neighbors. Organized around a courtyard, the house has deep shady eaves and operable windows: sustainability with style. Winner of a 2008 AIA-Houston Design Award for Residential Architecture. Sure didn't expect it to look so great! See how perceptions can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wernicke Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 What do you guys think of the Heritage Plaze Parking Garage?? I hadn't seen a rendering posted anywhere... it doesn't look THAT great to me (esp. not an architectural award?). Just looks like a big metal cage, which will look interesting in such a prime location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that house by accident over a year ago, and always wondered what the story was behind it. It's a good example of how redevelopment can complement a neighborhood, through the contextual acknowledgement of scale and climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
