Miramar Residence

Hocker

DESIGN CONSTRUCTED | RESIDENTIAL

The Miramar residence is located at the intersection of Miramar and Eton Avenues in the City of Highland Park, Texas, and features dual public facades facing each street, one welcoming pedestrian and the other vehicular traffic. Heavy planting in the front and side yards, along with vertical green on the courtyard walls, provide foreground that allows the house to disappear into its surroundings as if it has been there for years. Within the perimeter wall is a private pool and spa, nestled into the courtyard. A guest house is separated from the main house, both horizontally and vertically, allowing for a lush transition of sloped woodland planting, boulders, and river birch trees, truly creating a world apart from the surrounding neighborhood and city.
