SOLD OUT
The receptions will be from 6 to 8 pm with remarks by the

The Stonebridge Residence, designed by Bodron/Fruit, is located in Uptown between Turtle Creek and the Katy Trail. The design for this modern residence capitalizes on the constraints of its urban lot. It maximizes the footprint of the home, anchoring it into the landscape and providing a quiet retreat in the center of the city.
The home, organized on three levels, weaves itself into the topography and provides views of the landscape. A subterranean garage and basement are carved into the site. On the main level, the more public living spaces – dining, den, and kitchen – have generous views of the front and rear yards. A large, screened porch sits at the back of the home for entertaining. On the upper level, two guest bedrooms and an office are located on the street side. The primary suite, complete with an outdoor terrace and spa, gains additional privacy at the back. A graceful staircase with open treads and a glass handrail unites the various levels, flooding the space with light while providing views into the lush rear yard highlighted by a stately cedar elm tree. A thicket of bamboo at the rear of the lot provides a visual barrier between the home and the Katy Trail.
Clad in a fossil-filled Texas limestone, with mahogany soffits, and a copper roof, the material palette reflects the natural tones of the landscape. Deep overhangs shield the large windows from solar heat gain. The home has automated solar shades and a geothermal HVAC system for energy conservation. The architecture and interiors have a rich but subdued palette, using the natural hues from the limestone and white oak floors to complement the owner’s art collection. Furniture and rugs are a balance of modern, vintage, and current artisan designed and produced pieces. Selected for their clean lines and comfort, they are united in tone but varied in texture to both harmonize and provide an interesting counterpoint to the architecture.
Rough cut small format stone as well as larger smooth cut limestone are the primary exterior materials. Rift-cut Douglas Fir soffits and composite wood siding provide a warm accent to the natural stone. These same materials are carried through the interior of the home. Rift cut white oak floors and cabinets combined with the natural stone walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere for entertaining and relaxing in their daily lives.
