SOUTHERN CHARM Brickmoon Design modeled the exterior of this Garden Oaks manor after the 19th-century homes found in New Orleans’ historic Garden District. Though brought to life by David Gordon and Whitestone Builders, the clean lines, double island, and 48-inch stainless steel range from Bertazzoni in the kitchen — featured in our June 2017 issue — were nothing but modern.

SUBLIME STYLE Architect Reagan Miller, AIA, who died in a tragic plane crash earlier this year, used European styling, French influences, and a focus on the Bretagne region for this project featured in our September 2010 issue. For the interiors, Linda Eyles blended the homeowner’s antique Oriental rugs with casual, yet complementary, pieces. The seats of two scroll-back chairs were recovered in antique blue velvet in the family room of this Tanglewood home. Photo by Kennon Evett

THE LAP OF LUXURY Our March 2014 issue dove into the results of a recent Master Pools Guild Builder Survey, with the revelation that fire features — ranging from traditional grills and brick ovens to fire tables and fire pits — were a top trend

in pool and spa design. The team of Jason Camenzuli and Peter Collings of CLP Architecture wanted to design a modern floating pavilion for the Portsea Private Pool Pavilion project. They selected the EcoSmart XL900 ethanol burner for the fire feature, running the same length of the pool; a dramatic solution that was reflected in the water. Based in Australia, the project was built by KLE Building, with joinery by Krueger Shopfitters. Photo by Architect Jason Camenzuli, CLP Architecture
POWER PLAY In our June 2019 issue, we took a look at going green when it comes to sustainable architecture, rainwater harvesting and solar energy, with a spotlight on Houston’s first LEED Platinum House. Designed by Adams Architects — Joseph Houston Adams, A.I.A. and Gail Hood Adams — the residence has become a net exporter of electricity with 140 panels of photovoltaic solar arrays. The kitchen features bamboo cabinetry and floors, low voltage lighting, and paper composite counters. Photo by Gary Zvonkovic
