Tour Guidelines
divineCottage
The residence at 124 Devine Street is a wood framed Victorian cottage estimated built in the early 1900’s. The original size of the 3-room shiplap wood house was little more than 600 sq. ft. At unknown dates est.
1940 - 1970’s multiple additions were added to the rear to serve as additional bedrooms and bathrooms.
The design called for removal of the 1970’s additions and restora-tion of the historic wood cottage using original materials. The new addition of 900 sq. ft. added at the rear includes a new kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and porch. The new addition is set back of the existing residence and connects sensitively while maintaining the gable roof form and scale of the original house.
Situated near downtown in the Lavaca Neighborhood House 124 seeks to reflect the change in urban fabric as the discoveries of urban living begin to unravel in central San Antonio. The renova-tion and preservation of the early 1900’s home was the starting point. It was important for the new addition to distinguish itself from the original structure through spatial configuration, material-ity and hierarchy.
The original house was surgically dismantled to the original stud frame and then reassembled with original wood materials. Spray Foam Insulation was added to the exterior walls and roof where
previously there had been none. The original long leaf pine wood siding was planed and re-installed as a new interior finish material. The original roof decking and trusses were reinstalled removing any rotten or termite-damaged areas. Materiality is expressed in the use of existing reclaimed old pine from the original home and a local common building palette of sustainable assemblies, which respect the place and climate of their use.
The project incorporates sustainable features such as: recycled wood, spray foam insulation, efficient tank less hot water system, passive cooling with proper window orientation and shading.
Space is organized in two efficient volumes centered on a south-east courtyard, which provide shade from the harsh western sun, and captures south Texas breezes. The project develops a rela-tionship between interior and exterior spaces with respect to the historic structure while allowing for a contemporary response to modern lifestyles.

This 1930’s era residence proves that with careful re-organization a solidly built older home can be made functional modern living.
From the project’s inception the architect took great care to maintain the home’s traditional exterior design vernacular. The familiar stone and design characteristics of this home can be observed in many adjacent Olmos Park homes. Inside this former duplex is now a spacious and comfortable dwelling for a family of five.
The conversion from a duplex to a singe family dwelling provided the architect with a unique design challenge. Although the foot-print of the existing home provided sufficient space for the family’s needs, several of the rooms had to be reconfigured and reoriented so as to provide better flow and accessibility between spaces. A small addition to the rear of the residence allowed for a complete re-use of the spaces. The architect was able to double the size of the utility and family room as well as creating a larger second floor
entertainment room, gun room. A new Master suite doubled the size of the master closet and bathroom.
The entire interior was renovated with an aesthetic sympathetic to when the home was built. Windows and doors were replaced on first floor. The architect took care to select windows that were com-plimentary to the existing steel windows. These new replacements, although classic in design, offer increased energy efficiency. They are modern but blend seemlessly into the home’s interiors.
State of the art appliances, fittings and fixtures were installed. The woodwork and cabinetry features clean and uncomplicated lines. A light sophisticated interior design palette allows for light wood floors, white walls with a simple emphasis on decorative ele-ments such as the rich red Five Star range, black slate floors and accent walls.
A one-of-a-kind powder room features a unique basin counter cantilevered from a slate wall. Water drains backwards into a slot in the wall.

Interestingly, our firm designed the original land plan for the Auburn Place development. At the time it never entered my mind that I would one day live there. This house was completed over twenty years ago. It is built on a fifty foot
wide, zero lot line property with rear access. A vaulted structure influence by the cross bar of The Alamo, dominates the majority of the first floor.
Designed and building one’s own home proves opportunity for experimentation and learning, it also requires an increase visual sustenance.
Originally the house was 2750 sq. ft., the enclosure of a covered porch, which is now a home office, added 196 sq. ft., a recent addition to an existing bathroom added another 42 sq. ft. The home is now 2988 sq. ft.
This is the fourth house that I have designed and built for my fam-ily. Each house responds to different conditions: property size, ori-entation, adjacent influences, topography, existing trees, regional precedence, family composition and of course finances.
My approach to designing for my family is identical to the approach we apply with our clients, specifically, we ask a lot of questions and we listen. Often, as in this house, we are required to identify essential elements and then make art out of them.
Over the last several years we have made renovations to the kitchen, family room, master bath area, guest bathrooms, and covered porch allowing the house to respond to our current and future needs.
The nature of zero lot line zoning offers the opportunity for inter-nal privacy. Viewing the house from the street does not reveal the private courtyards and gardens. Once one enters through the front gate these interior spaces begin to reveal themselves. In addition to being visually intriguing they provide ventilation, landscaping and most importantly natural light. Light being the source of all form. On a relatively small lot, 50’ x 125’, it seemed important to make the house as transparent and open as possible thus elimi-nating visual barriers and providing properly scaled interior vistas. The interior courtyards provide space for pieces of our sculpture collection. In our major outdoor space, a small lap pool in featured. We turn the pool lights on nightly which adds a beautiful turquoise glow and expands the visual realm.
Our interiors have been influenced by the late Tommy Foy. Conceptually we are interested in architecture and interiors that are timeless. This house conveys classic forms and materials that will stand the test of time and convey a sense of place. Primarily all of our materials and walls are while. This palette allows our art collection and our colorful guests to maintain their integrity.
SyMpHony in WHite
The 3600 square foot, five bedroom/four bath home was designed for clients enamored with mid-century mod-ern architecture. The original 2200 square foot home included the typical cut up floor plan and low ceilings
found in many Ranch style homes of the area.
The new owners wanted a modern home-but one that engaged the spirit of the mid-century California modern Ranch home sprit of Architects like Eichler and May. The existing brick home stretched from end to end of the large lot and offered room to expand in the backyard areas for the needed additional bedrooms.
The home includes a stackable four car garage-designed as a “pool cabana” that integrates into the landscape surrounded by a pool. Careful attention to scale was giving to the detached structures as to not overwhelm the main home and outside spaces.
As the home included a variety of exterior materials, order was given to residence by utilizing stucco as a the primary base mate-rial-covering the original red brick, painted hardi-board siding for building insets and then metal siding for addition and accentuated architectural features.
The existing home was opened up by removing most of the interior walls to create a large inviting living room, dining and kitchen space with glass on both sides of the home. The home moves toward the east with the 1400 square foot addition that includes the bedroom and bathroom spaces, encircling a family room and all rooms engaging the restored screen porch facing the backyard.

RanCH Style Re- iMagined

S ited on a corner lot of the Alamo Heights neighbor-hood, overlooking the Olmos Basin with views of down-town, this innovative single family residence was built on the architect and client’s mutual respect for the
environment. With the foundation of sustainability as a responsible and moral obligation of built form, the challenge was to balance innovative sustainable technologies with time honored techniques while also drawing from and integrating with the historic context of the neighborhood. The single story bedroom portions of the original 1948 ranch-style home were retained and encapsulated with new one and two story public space additions.
While the project incorporates systems such as photovoltaic pan-els, a green roof system, grey-water harvesting, and LED lighting; there was also an effort to reduce impact through careful planning and consideration of the site and its surroundings. The new con-struction was designed to re-use the existing foundation, and wood from the previous structure was recycled and re-used. Passive systems such as arbors and overhang structures were implemented to produce shading and reduce solar gain, while the entire project was sited to protect the number of existing heritage oak trees found throughout the site during construction.
At the ground floor changes in level, stepping up over the pool along the main entry bridge and back down again from the kitchen
to the living area, provide a playful dialogue and transition between public spaces, even as a largely open floor plan and generous win-dows act to connect these spaces to each other and the outdoors. Additionally, wall-to-wall sliding doors in the living area open up to expand the room out into the pool and landscape that provides additional outdoor space for entertaining and gathering of friends and loved ones. The entry bridge spanning the pool enlivens these outdoor spaces with a grotto waterfall niche that compliments the cool shade of the heritage trees that reside throughout the yard. This rhythm is mirrored at the second floor as a series of folding doors in the ‘party room’ open to a large out-door terrace in the tree canopies, which again steps down to its own ‘landscape’ green roof garden with hot tub that takes in distance vistas of downtown.
These forms not only provide elegant spaces for entertaining, but also provide a stage for discussion and promotion of the core prin-ciple of sustainability that produced it. Meeting and exceeding standards for green certifications; such as Energy Star - Gold, NAHB Green Building - Emerald, Build SA Green - Level 3, and LEED - Platinum; act as a catalyst to encourage sustainability and responsible building practices in future projects with-in one of San Antonio’s oldest neighborhood, and throughout the city.

T he 2200 square foot home is the architect’s private residence for his family of three. It was purchased for a “downsize” experiment for a Design Build opportunity and to explore a different way of living on the smaller
50’ lots found in the Alamo Heights neighborhood.
The existing 1200 square foot home resides on a 50’ lot in Alamo Heights. As the architect found that 50’ lot sizes were very restric-tive for many of his client needs, the project was focused on how to build a smaller, one story home offering a unique inside/outside living experience. The home is currently a two bedroom, two and a half bath with a full bedroom/bath cabana with modifications planned to allow for a full three bedroom, two and half bath main home in the future.
As exterior space comes at a premium on smaller lots, all of the land was studied for its appropriate use. Driveways were replaced
with gravel to offer a better landscape feel to the back yard and outside sitting areas are found in all exterior spaces-including an outside fireplace. The spaces between buildings were used for additional outdoor connections spaces, such as between the new addition and the cabana. Even the small side yard spaces were designed for dog run enclosures. Lastly, due the limited land on these smaller lots, a roof deck was created on the garage to offer more “backyard”.
The original home was constructed by HB Zachry as a prototype test for residential concrete construction. The architect was careful to incorporate masonry finishes on the existing home and addition to connect the modern 1000 square foot addition. The addition features a floating roof surrounded with glass.
This project evidences that thoughtfully designed small homes can provide a ‘larger experience’ both inside and out.
