A Texas Modern House by Morrison Seifert Murphy Architects

This house by Morrison Seifert Murphy Architects is one modern house with great collaboration with the surrounding nature.



Planned in U-shape, this house turns its back toward the noisy thoroughfare and open to a courtyard, while preserving the trees to give some shades under the blue Texas sky.

Being the first modern home in its neighbourhood, the house blend itself with nature by its dark, gray-green color, as well as to avoid being overpowering the surrounding environment.

a white solid house placed on a hill ridge

Being a typically box house. this house on a hill ridge represent a great vista from inside out. The plan looks like a maze, and it's a house by guessing from the domestic scale. There's no opening at all, but doorways, but some part can be opened and create a new sense of complexity, said arkinetia.






The sun creates shading that changes the face of the house through out the day, becoming a theme of the facade. Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza wrote: “[It can be said] that the key lies in a profound understanding of light as matter, as material, as a modern material.”
