The LeBlanc-Cox residence is a modern design with an overall “Frank Lloyd Wright” feel, and was inspired by the home featured in the 1955 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, North by Northwest. It features open spaces with high ceilings, large windows, spacious circulation, and a warm feel to both the exterior and the interior. The key to the project was fulfilling the needs for the accommodation of family, entertaining guests, while at the same time functioning as a day to day home – a retreat at the end of the day. In order to reduce the heating and cooling costs, we used the existing trees and various overhangs to protect the massive windows from the elements.

The home backs up to the Hogg Bird Sanctuary and Bayou Bend, and sits next to the new MFAH Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens, just off of Memorial Drive. It has a wonderful sloping site, which is rare for Houston, so we decided to take full advantage. The pool, which includes multiple levels and waterfalls, is custom designed to the slope of the property – complete with a hot tub on the upstairs balcony.

There is also a guest house across from the pool, which reflects the feel and look of the larger main residence, and creates a beautiful courtyard in between the two structures. The residence was featured on both the 2011 Houston Modern Home Tour, and the 2011 ASID Kitchen & Bath Tour, and it was the featured house in the June issue of Houston House & Home magazine.
