I’m always a little nervous going back to a home I designed in 2003. I want to hope it still stands the test of time.
What I noticed was a richness of the materials and composition - more varied than most homes today, even the ones I design.
I think at this early point in my career I was trying out new concepts, and new materials. In this case the Soaring Wings of copper that give this home it’s name.
Paired with fossilized Texas limestone and water that intersects the home. It was nice to see the same owner in the home with his family and friends after all those years.
Greg turned 80 and you’d never know it. Yes, the guy with the round glasses. :)
Some of the aspects of the design of this house may seem a bit arbitrary, but they have personality. Those are the types of homes I like to design. I think that is also what defines our ideal client: someone who has a point of view and isn’t afraid of expressing it. And wants us to express it for them.
Here’s a toast to you Greg! We love and appreciate you!
