We recently came across a thought-provoking article by Jacoba Urist called The Psychological Cost of Boring Buildings. The article explains how scientific evidence shows that living and working in or around architecturally interesting buildings and varied, vibrant urban settings (read: no zoning) can lead to a happier and healthier life. We wholeheartedly agree! We can certainly think of lots of homes and neighborhoods that make us smile. There’s no sense in keeping the good feelings all to ourselves, so we’d like to share with you some of the structures that give us a thrill.
Contemporary homes are all the rage with home buyers nowadays and we can see why. From their unique, never boring exteriors to their crisp, clean interiors, they hold a natural appeal. The best contemporary homes feature beautiful, architecturally distinct designs and pair them with high quality selections and finishes in a way that is simply delightful. We see stunning contemporary designs all around town, and it’s hard to pick just a few favorites, but we’ll try. Here are some contemporary Houston homes that have us grinning ear to ear:
1405 & 1407 Sylvester, two Farmhouse style new constructions in East Sunset Heights with well appointed modern interiors.
1408 Wrightwood (Sold!), distinct Woodland Heights home with unique layout and amazing summer kitchen and lanai.
1230 W. Drew, beautiful Montrose home with intriguing features such as concrete interior wall, custom staircase and zen-like backyard.
706 Hawthorne B (Pending!), Montrose home from award-winning architectural firm with impressive organic design blending warm wood, metal and glass.
