Live Work Studio
1815, Southmore Boulevard, Houston, TX, United States
Forming a commitment to smart, compact living within the inner loop of Houston, this studio represents a ground floor work environment with living space above. Sustainable features include carefull building siting / orientation, natural ventalation, daylighting, use of materials and permeable exterior surfaces. This project demonstrates how good design can be achieved on the tightest of budgets.
Areas are designed with flexibility and dual functions in mind. A downstairs seating area doubles as exhibition space for hosting work by local artists. An upstairs area becomes layout space and an architectural materials library by day transforming into a dining area by night to seat up to 14 guests for dinner. An expanding family has transformed needs to include a child bedroom and play areas.
An outdoor pavilion at Intexure serve as a community gathering space and connection point between the architects Live-Work studio and adjacent development, as well as the surrounding neighborhood. The pavilion canopy offers dappled shade above the concrete bench seating and water element, which can also accommodate a table of twelve. A children’s sand box and play area blends with the adjacent garden providing a harvest of tomatoes, basil, squash, pumpkins and okra. A native plant and butterfly garden assures there is a constant flux of butterflies in the mid-summer air. An in-ground pond adds interest at the streetscape and captures rainwater from the butterfly roof.
