elcome to the March 2011 issue of Houston House & Home and welcome to spring. With Houston’s abundant trees leafing out all around us, we hope this issue sends you strolling under the branches of your favorite trees and to take in the transition of our landscape from brown and grey to the vibrant spectrum of springtime. Our area’s home and garden tours offer excellent opportunities for some arbor admiration mixed in with architecture, design and historical appreciation. See our special feature on spring home tours starting on page 36 to find details on some of the standout tours happening over the next month. One of those tours is the Rice Design Alliance Architecture Tour. This year’s showcase of exceptional architectural achievements in Houston focuses on residential projects by architects from outside the area. We have featured one of the six fascinating homes on the tour, a project designed by renowned San Antonio firm Lake | Flato Architects. This remarkable home in the tall trees of Memorial is a departure from the familiar air-conditioned fortresses that isolate residents from their surroundings.

Changes in the Wind BEFORE: The house was beginning to be put back together after Hurricane Ike, but key decisions in the kitchen had not been made. One goal was to increase storage.
before 18
AFTER: In the old kitchen, there had been no room for cookbook storage and no bar counter. Painting the wall under the bar counter to match the buff walls in living room expands the sense of space, while the sturdy barstools won’t tip over when small kids climb them. In the laundry room by the back door, a clothes-folding counter and new drawers and cabinets were added to increase storage.

After a tree fell on their home, a family kitchen is reinvented When I first met Catherine and Alejandro Araiza, I was enthralled by the resilience of this young couple with two very young children. During Hurricane Ike, a neighbor’s very tall pine tree crashed diagonally through their small home all the way to the foundation, narrowly missing both sleeping children and parents. As the eye of the storm passed overhead, the couple woke the children, and like an Indiana Jones adventure, escaped by climbing over the tree inside their home in pouring rain, and took shelter at Catherine’s mom’s dry and safe home down the street! And the saga began. Living in an apartment while construction workers put their flattened home back together, Catherine called me (after a referral from a friend) to help her select finishes and colors and redesign her kitchen using their existing appliances. “I needed someone to quickly read my style and help make decisions, which were just overwhelming for me. You were very knowledgeable and methodical,” she said. “I was so relieved after our first visit because I knew you would make this process easier and that we would come out with a much nicer kitchen than we could have conceived on our own. Your experience and creativity gave us so
many more options to consider and you were willing to work with our small budget,” Catherine explained. TIP: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. A devastating storm like Hurricane Ike opens the door (and the roof!) for remodeling. Catherine loves cooking and entertaining, so she really wanted to take advantage of the small space they had. I suggested that in addition to raising the tile flooring to the level of the wood floor in the living room (which she had already decided to do), that she use a large budget-friendly 18” by 18” Brixton DalTile ceramic floor in “Mushroom” and install it diagonally to visually expand space. I also recommended she eliminate the small table that had been next to the window in the kitchen (too cramped) and instead build a bar counter and use the dining table instead. Eliminating the furdowns and the upper row of cabinets that had been over the sink opened the entire kitchen up to the living and dining spaces. I suggested she cover the exposed beam with sheetrock because it was visually lowering the ceiling. I also encouraged them to extend the sink countertop to add a cookbook shelf at the end of the peninsula and more room for barstools. TIP: Stretch your budget by selecting lighting and “Vinna” pulls from Ikea. Be consistent with your metal finishes. “Covering the beam with sheetrock was a stretch because I like the look of exposed wood,” Catherine explains. “The other thing that was tough for me to visualize was having our everyday dishes at waist level instead of overhead. But is has worked out great because the kids can now get their own dishes.” TIP: Just because a kitchen has always been one way does not mean it has to stay that way. “I didn’t know what to expect, having never worked with a decorator, but I trusted you completely and knew immediately the kitchen would turn out far better than if I’d been left to my own devices,” she laughed. Catherine liked the fact that I was sketching, measuring and taking notes during the meeting, which freed her up to think and ask questions. “You captured every last detail, and some of your recommendations I could defer to (like the tile backsplash), so it’s great to have your notes to go back to and to see what we discussed and the possibilities for the future,” she said. The powerful Broan vent was a splurge, but the couple enjoys both its power and its hidden lights. The microwave was moved to a raised cubby off the counter and the existing oven and fridge rearranged to create additional countertop and drawer storage. TIP: To make a kitchen look larger, paint cabinets to match appliances and use the same color on trim throughout the house. Walls were painted Sherwin Williams “Believable Buff” SW 6120 and ceilings “Antique White” SW 66119. Cabinets and trim are “Extra White” SW 7006. Everyone who has seen the house loves the kitchen, and according to the couple it is the star of the house. “Working with you was the best money we spent on the whole project,” Catherine said. “You helped us make economical, stylish decisions that have made all the difference. I never felt at home in my kitchen before now.” Previously, she had chosen paint colors by herself and had cried, both when she had seen the walls painted the wrong colors and when she had to pay the painters to redo the colors. “This time around, thanks to you, I did not make one bad decision,” Catherine beamed.

before
& after TRADE SECRETS • Think “green”— recycling your existing appliances instead of buying new ones keeps them out of the landfill and saves money, too. • Paint consistently gives the most “bang for your buck”. • Get creative. Sheetrocking and painting a visually heavy wood support beam can visually expand space. • Sometimes the most effective strategy is not to add square footage to your house, but to first rethink the space under roof that is already paid for.
LEFT: A new Broan vent was a splurge, but the couple loves the handy, hidden lighting. New ceiling-height cabinets utilize every square inch of storage. The new pantry, with deep drawers at kids’ level, makes the kitchen functional for everyone. BELOW: A new custom, job-built, angled upper cabinet holds liquor, while the new drawer and under-counter storage, plus a new angled cabinet over the refrigerator yields additional storage for this busy young couple.

Good news: The kitchen is the easiest room to organize. Look around, what do you see? Stacks of mail, knickknacks, small appliances, cooking utensils, spices losing their taste. It’s easy to sort out what’s necessary and what’s not. Bad news: Because it is the busiest place in the house, batteries, pets stuff, papers and so on also tend to accumulate in the kitchen.

Food prep is the focus of the kitchen, so your goal is to clear out everything that is not essential to cooking or eating. Start by clearing enough space to make cleaning your food-prep surfaces easy. You don’t have to tackle it all at once, in fact, it’s best to go slowly and methodically, so you get it right the first time. Think carefully about what you truly need in the kitchen and what can go elsewhere. Next, free up a small space on the countertop or the breakfast table, open the pantry and empty it entirely. This step is easy and fun once you get started!

project Throw out or recycle: • expired food items • spices that have lost their zest • anything that you can't remember when you used it last • containers without lids • that heap of plastic bags (they won't be collector’s items) Weed out the cleaning products area by disposing of toxic products that are old or just too toxic. Consider the variety of more natural cleaners currently available. To make room in your cabinets, get rid of any cracked or broken china that you wouldn't dare to use with guests; same goes for damaged silverware. Pull out odd the wedding gifts, those fast food toys (they may have been loved once but, you don't have to live with them forever). Do you have a second tea set, fondue pot or food processor? Put those in a box marked "duplicates” to be given away later on. Keep only what you truly like and use. Next step is to clean cabinets inside and out, then store the kept items by function and shape. The placement of items has to make sense to you: for some of us, the mugs go with the glasses, for others, the mugs go with breakfast items. Invite a friend over and play your favorite tune, it will go faster! LOOK & FUNCTION Many modern kitchens feature drawers rather than cabinets for below-counter storage. Photo courtesy of Poggenpohl.
Now, you can think about the interior design of your countertops, pantry, cabinets and drawers. Remember that a sparse countertop is the easiest to clean, so leave out only the items you use daily and are dear to you (and not your mother or best friend). If the water kettle, coffee machine and toaster are your most-utilized items, keep those on the counter and relocate other items. Store all objects close to their related function—the less you use them, the farther away they can be placed. For example, store spices and condiments in drawers next to the cooktop, but Thanksgiving serving platters or the fondue set can be stored in the highest cabinet or the highest shelf. What you use on a daily basis should be stored in a place lower than the height of your shoulders. Heavy items, such as Dutch ovens, large pots and mixers, should be stored in a fully extendable drawer. Don't pile plates and bowls too high, instead, add an intermediate shelf to improve function. Inside cabinets, use interior pull-out drawers or baskets attached on simple tracks under the shelves. To organize the contents of your drawers and baskets, sort by use. For example, openers for cans, bottles, and nuts go in one compartment. Next, assemble the utensils by type, then by size. You may need to buy some fittings for your drawers. Plastic or wood containers are available not only at kitchen stores, but also at office supply stores or bath stores or the local retail outlets for familiar catalogs. Be sure to have the interior drawer dimensions handy (including the height) to find the best-fitting options. Lastly, it helps greatly to store small appliances that don't need to be kept out on the countertop. Leave them in a cabinet close enough to an electrical outlet. Try to group all their accessories together in a single, topless, box.
Conquering Cabinet Chaos A shelf system can make it easier to make the most of the space you already have. Strategic placement of special drawers allows for effortless access to kitchen essentials. Grouping pots and pans on two designated pull-out drawers can reduce the fatigue of cooking. Locating canned Pull-out drawers put bulky items within easy reach. Photo courtesy of Shelf Genie. 24

Splendor in the
This home, designed by Lake | Flato Architects of San Antonio, demonstrates the firm’s intention for the lot and home to function as one. Embracing the outdoors with a playful openness, the residents easily commune with the lush environment, rich with pine trees and a varied native understory. This home is among six locations on the 2011 Rice Design Alliance Architecture Tour. (See p. 36)
Guided by nature’s beauty and Houston’s notorious climate, an award-winning firm’s design provides a local family with a verdant urban oasis By SANDRA COOK

Glass
The front entrance is screened in a slatted hardwood, to provide a privacy layer for the mostly glass home. This yields a front door that is actually a gate leading to an outdoor Japanese garden room.
In contrast to its signature skyscrapers and freeways, the Houston area is blessed with a multitude of wooded neighborhoods. Our area’s ample annual rainfall and the resilience of our wonderful native trees provide natural solutions for the long hot summers. The heavily wooded Memorial area, set along Buffalo Bayou on Houston’s near west side, is known both for its near-continuous green canopy and its stunning homes on generous lots. Several years ago, a young family found their own slice of paradise in one of those lush Memorial neighborhoods.
“We absolutely fell in love we the lot, but not so much the previous house,” says the homeowner. So they turned to Ted Flato who happened to be a cousin and happened to be a principal at the nationally recongnized Lake | Flato Architects in San Antonio. The resulting home is a haven for the family of three and their trio of Labradors. “Ted was so brilliant about the placement on the lot,” says the homeowner. “The whole house stays shaded all day and never gets warm, even in Houston summers.” Though Flato studied in California and his firm is based in 29
Setting the house in the right spot to take advantage of the best features of the lot was essential to the success of the design. The architects used elements of the house, such as strategic placement of the solid walls, to minimize or even enhance the less-attractive features of the lot.
San Antonio, he was born and raised in Corpus Christi, a Gulf Coast city with a climate not that different from Houston’s. For every project, the firm collaborates with the landscape firm throughout design process, in this case, McDugald Steele. “We consider the environment as a key piece of the puzzle,” says Flato. “The outdoor space is as important as the indoor space, and most
30
house& home | M a r c h 2 0 1 1 | h o u s e a n d h o m e o n l i n e . com
importantly, we think about how rooms can engage the outdoors. We think about elements of the house and the site as one big canvas.” A NATURAL DRAW
“This lot had a beautiful deep draw – a little ravine,” says Flato.
Three keys to Lake | Flato’s approach 1. Address the landscape: consider how the building will relate to the environment. The wooded lot offered a small, private forest, punctuated by the gentle topography variation of the ravine. 2. Think about the climate and weather, letting the more significant conditions shape much of the design. The biggest factor was Houston’s intense sun, so exposures to the east and west were limited, while exposures to the north and south were maximized. This also takes advantage of the prevalent southern breeze, yet care was taken to block chilling north winds. 3. Consider the context. Lake | Flato sought to use materials that make sense for the location. “In Houston, we had to use materials that can weather the climate,” says Flato. “A metal exterior (copper in this case) is a better choice than wood in humid environment.” Stucco walls soften the look and introduce color, yet are solid. The steel skeleton of the structure is built to handle powerful winds. Each section of the house leans on each other, so support and stability are unending.
BELOW: Stucco in various earthy hues is used on several walls, both inside and out. It was stained with a concrete floor stain to bring out variation in texture. The mottled stucco texture softens the hard edges of the steel and glass structure and introduces color into the greenscape.
“Such topography is very special in Houston. The views into nature are dominated by lots of big, tall pine trees.” From inside, much of the house focuses on the shallow ravine that lies on the south side of the property. The forest-like landscape, animated by squirrels, birds and the family’s three dogs, provides a constant daytime show. The two-story volumes offer a variety of
The multitude of windows ensures that natural light and the lush landscape are welcomed into the interior spaces. Expanses of vertical grain fir, playful shapes and curious pathways combine with the front-to-back and side-to-side views to enhance the indoor/outdoor feel of the home.
32
house& home | M a r c h 2 0 1 1 | h o u s e a n d h o m e o n l i n e . com
boxy shapes and playful passages. “The lines of the home flow both horizontally and vertically to feel spacious as well as to showcase the tall pine trees,” says Flato. “The arms of the structure stretch out into the landscape. It is a playful house for a playful family.” NEVER A BAD DAY
“Houston has an environment that is very verdant, but it’s easy to forget that when you’re driving around on the expressways,” says Flato. “For this house, nature was the driver of the design.” With the natural setting as the home’s dominant feature, the result is very much like a large tree house that happens to be on the ground. “We wanted a friendly house, with space for kids to play,” says the homeowner. “We asked for something very open and the results are absolutely beyond our expectations. It’s amazingly quiet, even with all that openness. No matter what the weather, there’s never a bad day – aesthetically speaking. If it’s pouring down rain, the rain chains are so great. I just love it.”
RIGHT: From inside, the playful home resembles a large tree house with its delightful barn shutters, generous catwalk, and creative combination of wood, steel, stucco and glass.
The home’s exterior, comprised of copper, stucco, glass and steel, was built to be maintenance-free. A long stucco wall connects the house to the pool cabana, which serves as a game retreat for gatherings. The stucco wall creates a courtyard for the pool area, screening it from the driveway.
The home’s broad overhangs reach toward the wooded landscape, almost physically connecting to the branches of the trees. The overhangs also provide ample shelter from sun and rain. 34
house& home | M a r c h 2 0 1 1 | h o u s e a n d h o m e o n l i n e . com
A screened-in porch sits off the back of kitchen. This transition from inside to out was built like a cozy den, complete with fireplace, and is a favorite place for the family in the winter months.”
Architect Ted Flato says his firm sought to make a house for Houston that didn’t make you feel like you didn’t want to go outside, but rather encouraged its residents to enjoy the outdoors.

RICE DESIGN ALLIANCE 2011 Architecture Tour For more than 35 years, the Rice Design Alliance has held yearly architecture tours to highlight outstanding examples of architecture, interior design, and landscape design APRIL 2-3 in the city. This year’s tour, Houses of Import, features homes designed by architects from outside the Houston region. The tour showcases the architects’ fresh insight and inspiration in the context of Houston’s architectural vitality.
Houses of Import
The six homes on the tour demonstrate how Houston’s climate, history, transportation, landscape, lack of zoning are interpreted from an outsider’s perspective. One goal of the tour is to understand how an emerging global design practice is beginning to have a significant impact on our local residential design market.

The appearance of your front door makes a huge statement. If your door is saying, “I’m weary and need some love,” then it may be time to refresh or refinish the paint or stain. A simple touch-up can take just a few hours, while a full refinishing job can take a day or two depending on the size of the door. Minor touch ups are easy for most homeowners, but stripping off an old finish or layers of paint gets more involved and is best left to the professionals. “There are usually no surprises once we get to your house,” says Rick Davis of Rick’s Front Door Refinishing. “We can do everything on site. On a single door we can do both sides in just a few hours. We can also replace all the hardware, thresholds and kickplates.” Davis has owned his company for five years, but grew up working on pianos with his father and grandfather, so he has learned many tricks to make old wood look like new. His company also refinishes fiberglass doors. “If the job looks too big, call us,” says Davis.

Cool spring days are ideal for airing out your home, so open up those windows! MENDING FENCES
Wood fences in our area take a beating from our high heat, heavy downpours and humidity. Be sure to inspect hinges and latches on gates to make sure your kids, pets and property stay as safe as possible. Check your entire fence for weak spots and wobbly areas. Replace weak or broken boards with new ones. If any posts are unstable, consider removing them and replacing in a new concrete foundation. This is a strenuous job that often requires a good bit of muscle and know-how. Unless you have experience with this type of work, it’s best to call a professional. And while you’re outside, look at your home’s exterior. Hose off or spray wash grimy areas, then look for spots that may need paint touch ups. Examine your gutters, too. If they are full of leaves and debris from the winter, then they are not ready to handle Houston's spring and summer rains that make so many headlines.
The transition from winter to spring is an ideal time to reorganize closets. Winter clothing and accessories can be stored under the bed or rotated to the back of the closet. While you’re at it, weed out unwanted items that no longer fit your lifestyle, or simply no longer fit. Pile those items into boxes or shop-

getting it done Want to put some fresh energy into the annual housecleaning? • Make it a family affair. Involve everyone in a planning session and assign tasks to each family member. Let each person mark their chore off the list when completed to give them a sense of accomplishment. • Wear old and comfortable clothes. This way, you can dig in and work without worrying about stains and spills. • Open all the windows. Even a 10-15 minute airing-out will do wonders for the atmosphere in your home. • Go green. Now is a good time to try out some of the new, environmentally sensitive cleaners, if you haven’t already. You can also use the old-fashioned “green” products: vinegar, baking soda and elbow grease.

To start, back out any vehicles that enjoy the luxury of parking in the garage. Tackle one wall at a time, removing items that you don’t need. If you have a truck handy, load up the unnecessary items to be recycled, given away or donated. Check your trash collection schedule for heavy trash pick up, or find the City of Houston Solid Waste Department’s Neighborhood Depository near you (six locations across Houston). Sweep the entire garage, including shelves and workbenches. Then reorganize the keeper items, grouping them by function and frequency of use. At this point you may want to wash and clean out those cars before moving them back into the garage! Avoid waste when cleaning windows by using a microfiber cloth instead of paper towels.

pet of the month HI! I’m Molly. I am unfortunately a “recession puppy.” After two-and-a-half years with my family, it’s time for them to move on without me. That may sound sad, but I am a “glass half-full” kind of gal. I learned a valuable lesson about optimism while watching a television news show covering landslides and forest fires out West. A homeowner, upon watching her house slide off a mountainside, looked at the camera and said, “we have our lives and our love. Losing all of your material posessions teaches you the lesson of release.” I may have lost my old family, but I know I will find a new one. Maybe even a family with kids and a yard, because I love playing around. And I’m still young, so it’won’t be too hard for this chihuahua mix to start over. All I need is you (and some belly rubs and brushing). I’ll bring the good attitude!
