A note from
MARILYN
One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute. – William Feather
Our Dear Readers, What a year! 2015 was a roller coaster ride in many ways. Markets went up, markets went down; stock prices soared, stock prices tumbled; consumer confidence waxed, consumer confidence waned. It seemed like everything was bullish one day and bearish the next. Despite all of this, here at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, the outlook was always up. Sellers sold homes, buyers bought homes and agents worked diligently to guide sales through the closing process. As the year closed, our positive outlook proved to be on target. Martha Turner SIR was the #1 brokerage for sales over $1,000,000, the #1 brokerage for sales over $500,000, and the #1 brokerage for sales over $250,000 - quite an accomplishment. We move forward with great anticipation that our Houston housing market will remain strong and balanced. Inside our latest issue of PROPERTIES, you’ll find a diverse selection of stunning homes and topical articles. We begin with Villa Encantada, a classic Spanish Colonial Revival-style retreat in old Memorial. Reflecting the refined grace and sure hand of Robert Dame, this highly individual residence offers handpicked finishes and rare materials that create a one-of-a-kind environment for sophisticated daily living and entertaining. Think NASA is only about space exploration? Think again. A feature article looks back at NASA’s incredible history and examines one of its newest and most exciting projects, CineSpace. A joint production of NASA and the Houston Cinema Arts Society, CineSpace fosters creative relationships at the intersection of art and science. If you’re dreaming of a luxury abode in other parts of the country, we offer five pages of the most luxurious Sotheby’s International Realty listings from around the U.S. We end with an equally luxurious, Spanish-inspired hacienda in West University on a 20,000-plus sq. ft. lot with park-like amenities and a “gazebo” that is a complete entertainment venue. We at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty are ready to share the luxury service and comprehensive market knowledge that led us to success in all of our markets. Team with us in your next real estate transaction, and together let’s make 2016 the year to remember - the year that breaks all the records for home sales.

Scott Butler
Architects by nature seek to shape their environment with buildings of their own design, but few are able to do it so comprehensively as Bo and Scott Butler. Brothers and business partners who both hold master’s degrees in architecture, these self-styled “urban developers” don’t just design very high-end homes; they design and develop entire neighborhoods and then build their designs themselves.
Butler Brothers operates three distinct businesses providing architectural, development and construction services. “We didn’t expect to do all three when we started,” the brothers said. “The intent was to be architects and developers but we ended up as the contractors as well in order to control the timing and quality.” BO Butler
The brothers look for location first, not price. When they saw the opportunity presented by a tract of secluded, wooded acreage in the heart of the River Oaks/Uptown Park nexus, they purchased the property in 2012, began to draw their plans, and Audubon Hollow was born. “We were inspired by the architecture of Hays Towne, that synthesis of classic Acadian cottage and Creole influences that includes tall ceilings, exterior French doors with full-length shutters, and lavish use of cypress, heart of pine, and brick,” said Scott. “We called it Audubon Hollow as a way to capture the essence of the place; Audubon for John J. Audubon and his nature paintings and Hollow to reference the wooded seclusion and ravine.” Impressive manned guard gates grant entrance to Audubon Hollow from
Briar Hollow Lane. Surrounding a tree-lined esplanade with a fountain, gardens, and a charming garconnière, homes offer custom exterior details, shuttered French doors and windows, generous porches and wraparound galleries, lush gardens, and intimate courtyards. Features include elevators, furniturequality cabinetry, rich hardwood floors, custom stone, decorative ceilings, custom doors, wood-burning fireplaces, professional-grade appliances, and security and home automation systems. “We created Audubon Hollow for those attracted by the convenience and security of a high-rise building but don’t want to give up their traditional home lifestyle,” said Bo. “Our management company offers concierge, ‘white glove’ service that takes care of all common areas, backyards, and private pools, and keeps watch on residents’ homes when they are traveling.” “We call ourselves ‘urban developers’ because what we do won’t translate to suburbia,” said Scott. “We strive to build the right way, not the easy way. We work from precedent architecture, going back to the root of a period, and move that precedent style forward for modern living.” 20 Audubon Hollow Lane . . . . . . . .

Years later, NASA public affairs officer Paul Haney recalled that on his first glimpse of his future workplace – an aerial tour – most of it was still submerged under storm waters, and a stray shrimp boat lay foundered on the site of what would eventually become the Manned Space Center’s administration building. (The Johnson Space Center would not take the former president’s name until 1973.)

fter six quiet years, NASA launched the Space Shuttle program, the source of both great triumphs and two unforgettable tragedies.
Even to most scientists at the time of its conception, the idea that you could launch a reusable craft into space and then return it to earth as a glider seemed nuts. And yet there it was, nine years after its announced conception in 1972, the Space Shuttle Columbia, blasting off into space on April 12, 1981. On this most exciting day in American spaceflight history since the moon landings, as with all other shuttle flights, Columbia’s every move was overseen by a team of scientists and technicians at the Johnson Space Center once off the launch pad, Five years later, NASA and the JSC would experience its worstever tragedy. On January 28, 1986, the Challenger exploded in a flash of yellow fire and bright white smoke on 73 seconds after takeoff. Seven astronauts, all of whom had left their mark on Houston in some way, perished, including teacher Christa McAuliffe, who was to have been the first “ordinary citizen” to go to space, and Ronald McNair, the second African-American to leave the planet. McNair planned to record a solo piece for saxophone that he had composed from orbit; aside from “Jingle Bells,” it was to have been the first piece of music performed beyond the atmosphere.

What has been your greatest memory in space? My greatest memory of my space experience is seeing the earth in its proper perspective with relation to the moon and sun. I could completely cover the earth with my thumb just 240,000 miles away. It is home for about 6 billion people. How fortunate we are.
2
What are your keys to success, and how do you define success? To be successful you must have a positive attitude, apply a determined effort in your work and never give up.
3
Where do you draw your inspiration from? I got my inspiration from successful people. My desire to become a naval aviator came from my uncle who was the 58th naval aviator and had a great career.

the nine Jim Lovell
with
James Arthur “Jim” Lovell, Jr. is a former NASA astronaut and a retired captain in the United States Navy, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which suffered a critical failure en route to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Lovell was also the command module pilot of Apollo 8, the first Apollo mission to enter lunar orbit. Lovell is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon.
What was the best advice you were ever given? The best advice I received was to finish a task and concentrate on one program at a time.
5
What does “home” mean to you? “Home” is anyplace where there is a friendly environment, good neighbors and where there is no other place to go they have to take you in.
6
What has been your biggest obstacle in life, and how did you overcome it? My biggest obstacle was being rejected for the space program and then being accepted the 2nd time around.
7
If you could be a superhero, who would you be and why? I could not imagine myself being a superhero because in life it takes the teamwork of family and friends to accomplish tasks and to overcome obstacles.
8
What did you love most about living in Houston and / or in space? The friendly atmosphere of Houston was most enjoyable. Looking down at the silent panorama of the earth from space was most inspirational.

What will you miss the most about your Lake House on Lake LBJ? I will always miss the boating, the cookouts, and the beautiful sunsets with my family and neighbors on Lake LBJ.

ENTHUSIASTICALLY URBAN, BOHEMIAN, AND ICONOCLASTIC, 3615 MONTROSE IS NOT JUST WHERE YOU LIVE, IT’S WHY YOU
LIVE HERE 3615 Montrose is luxury urban living at its finest. Located in the heart of Montrose and within Houston’s heralded Museum District, 3615 Montrose is as distinctive as the neighborhood surrounding it. Just as the genial developer of Montrose, James Link stated, the neighborhood would spearhead the procession of Houston’s growth, with 3615 Montrose is leading the charge in design, development, form, and function. Surrounded by the Menil Collection, the Contemporary Art Museum Houston, and distinctive architectural works such as the Chapel of St. Basil — designed by Philip Johnson — 3615 Montrose signals a return of the renowned firm of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects to Houston. The distinctive look of the building is celebration of great architecture in one of Houston’s most vibrant neighborhoods. 3615 Montrose reflects a singular vision: to reconnect Montrose to its classic modernist roots while offering buyers a new standard in luxury urban living. Located within walking distance of the University of St. Thomas — whose master plan was one of Philip Johnson’s earliest Houston commissions — 3615 Montrose is a luxury residence building unlike any other. Its undulating curves, formed by floor-to-ceiling glass, bring an abundance of light into the space, thus, capturing the site’s spectacular views. The sophisticated simplicity of the interior spaces is inspired by Philip Johnson’s famed Glass House, one of the most significant structures of 20th century architecture. The building has an expressive sculptural form that reflects the rich cultural heritage of this neighborhood.
Every detail of 3615 Montrose — from its extraordinary architecture to the quality of the custom interior finishes — is designed to embrace the iconic spirit of its surroundings. marthaturner.com
