A note from

MARILYN Our Dear Readers, Summer is coming to an end and “school is in the air.” It is with great anticipation that I share this issue of PROPERTIES magazine. While many of the Houston real estate markets aren’t specifically dictated by the beginning of a school year, we seem to feel complete as children with backpacks and even college-bound students surface around our city.

Having been a teacher in years past, this issue of PROPERTIES magazine resonates on a personal level. Higher education has always been of great significance and the articles that we have shared are inspirational, informative and yes, heartwarming.

The story of the crooked cross at the University of St. Thomas is intriguing. The late Philip Johnson, architect of the Chapel of St. Basil, designed the cross in keeping with his vision that a cross can’t be symmetrical when it’s carried on the shoulders of a persecuted man. This story is steeped in rich history reflecting Johnson’s architectural influence on the campus as a whole.

Rice University’s Baker Institute is another featured story that is nothing short of remarkable. James A. Baker III, former Secretary of State, founded the institute in 1993, and in this relatively brief time it has been propelled to prominence around the world. Renowned dignitaries have visited including South Africa’s former President Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev to name a few. This “ Think Tank” facility is globally acclaimed and ranks as number four among university-affiliated think tanks in the world. As you read how James Baker lll executed his vision for statesmen, students and scholars alike to be involved in embracing this institute, one realizes how fortunate for our city that former Secretary of State Baker calls Houston home.

Hugh Roy Cullen’s name is synonymous with generosity and vision related to Houston. Enjoy an edifying story where we are walked through the early, crucial days of our city when the obvious was missing-- a college where a broad cross-section of people could gladly pursue their dream of a higher education. This heartwarming account of Mr. Cullen’s determination to make that dream a reality is peppered with fascinating details that relate how thousands of young people today benefit because a very generous, compassionate, vision-filled Houstonian forged his perception of how higher learning should be presented.

I think you will be profoundly impressed by the glorious homes we have included in this issue for you to enjoy. The architectural detail and overall beauty are breathtaking and it is obvious to me that Houston real estate has few equals in the beautiful choices we are afforded for living at its finest.

Thank you for giving us the privilege of sharing this edition of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty PROPERTIES magazine. Please contact us with any questions you may have. We would gladly welcome a personal visit with you.

Marilyn Thompson President, Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty

RIVER OAKS AREA

By Penny Jones

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.”

THINKING THE BOX

by Alison Bieser

Rice University’s Baker Institute is Thriving as a Premier Global Policy Institute Alison Bieser is a communications professional with interests in marketing, higher education and health care.

In February 2016, as concerns about the Zika virus began to enter the public’s awareness, after the world had mourned the victims of the Paris attacks and daily headlines in Houston bemoaned the fallout from the worst oil bust ever, a report that ranks think tanks worldwide was released with little fanfare. In the latest index of “Go To Think Tanks” compiled by the University of Pennsylvania, the Baker Institute of Public Policy at Rice University had broken into new territory, entering the top five among university-affiliated think tanks in the world, rising to No. 4 from No. 9 in the previous year.

Established just 23 years ago, the Baker Institute is coming into its own.

The ranking index places it in the top echelon among its peers of around 850 university-affiliated think tanks worldwide (including think tanks at Harvard and the London School of Economics) and ranks it 18th among the top think tanks in the United States. In another rankings coup, the institute’s Center for Energy Studies came in second globally among energy resource think tanks.

Baker Institute Director and former Ambassador Edward P. Djerejian cited the institute’s commitment to excellence in delivering research, programs and policy recommendations to decision-makers in the public and private sectors as contributing to the rise in the rankings. Djerejian, a career diplomat and Middle East scholar, has good reason to feel optimistic.

Last year had been the institute’s best yet, with an increase in funding, collaborations and engagement. The institute also graduated its first class of students with a master’s degree.

With its focus on health and disease, energy and the environment, the Middle East, Mexico and business, among other areas, the Baker Institute seeks to increase awareness and understanding of these crucial issues. As a non-partisan organization involved in the study, formulation, execution and criticism of public policy, the Baker Institute aims to shed light on factors driving key trends, processes and events to help guide policy formation on the challenges that face governments, non-governmental organizations, non-profits and industry at home and abroad.

Especially in uncertain times, organizations as well as individuals increasingly seek out the most reliable sources of news and information on which to base their actions and opinions. The Baker Institute is a Honorary chair James A. Baker, III Courtesy of Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy

credible, local voice that brings fresh ideas and original thinking to the critical issues of the times.

James Baker III’s hope, to develop the institute into “a nationally recognized center

that would draw statesmen, scholars, and students from around the world to its innovative and integrated activities,” has come to pass.

Baker III, a standard bearer of foreign policy expertise informed by a career steeped in ColdWar-era diplomacy. The Houston native and attorney has decades of public service experience, having served in senior positions under three United States presidents, most notably Ronald Reagan. Baker was in office when the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, and a piece of the wall installed near the Baker Institute stands both as a symbol of democracy and legacy of his service during that momentous period.

Having had a long association with Rice University through his grandfather, who had served on its first board of directors, Baker joined forces with Rice in 1993 to launch the Baker Institute. In 1994, Djerejian, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel and to the Syrian Arab Republic, became the director of the Baker Institute. During the first years of his tenure, the institute building was constructed and was completed in 1997, was completed. Under Djerejian’s leadership and strategic guidance, the institute solidified its vision and mission and began the work that would lead to its worldwide recognition.

OF THE BRAZOS RIVER

L

aprada Landing’s rich narrative begins in 1824 when David Randon and Isaac Pennington acquired land from Stephen F. Austin, joining the prominent group of Texas’ first settlers – the Old Three Hundred.

Randon further etched his name in the Lone Star State’s history when he advocated for Texas independence following the 1835 battle of Gonzales. Over the years, many notable Texas families have been stewards of the land, and now it is time for new generations of landowners to add their names to this prestigious legacy that will continue with Laprada Landing.

L

aprada Landing offers tracts ranging from ±60 - 105 acres, each with its own unhindered view of the Brazos River. With varying tree coverage, each tract has its own features that set it apart from the

others with no two being exactly alike. There is ample opportunity to build and create your own sense of place.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in tune once more. ~ John Burroughs
