Mount Vernon is a stunning home in the perfect location, designed by award winning architect James Evans AIA, Collaborative Designworks, this home will take your breath away. Located minutes from downtown Houston, a bike ride away from Rice University and walking distance to the museum district, this home is in the perfect location and has all of the detailed luxuries to fit your lifestyle.

 

The exterior is dominated by bright white-painted rectilinear forms with gray counterpoints that seek to break up the monotony of an all white plain. Deemed a study in the warming and softening of contemporary architecture the Mount Vernon’s upper level showcases a vertical and horizontal Redwood rain screen panel arrangement that alternates with the building's gray rectilinear walls. This gives a warm, natural and organic feel to the building. Also outdoor terraces on the second floors, a common feature in Pueblo architecture creates private spaces for residents to enjoy the outdoors.

 

Window variations of different sizes are arranged in an irregular format on the building in a way that emphasize the geometric shape and texture of the building’s walls. At dark these windows uniquely reveal the building’s inside lighting in a way that compliments the Redwood rain screen panels while increasing the building's overall warm feel.
