This colorful home in the Old Sixth Ward historic district for a young family began by establishing a few goals. Expand the space and accessibility of the Kitchen, preserve and connect to the back yard, and move the bedrooms from the front of the house to the more private rear (with views of downtown Houston!). By removing a few walls in the existing house, we were able to get an expansive and light-filled Kitchen with a family-friendly dining area. In the connection between old and new, we added large glass doors, and storage. The Master suite looks out into the leafy tree and into downtown for a particularly urban vantage point.
