The Spring Residence, Invicta Design Studio

01Overview

The Brief

A double-height great room, drawn around the existing hearth.

A North Houston home with a tall stone fireplace, dark hardwood floors, and a deep volume that needed grounding. The brief: hold the existing architecture, soften the walls, and compose a single seating arrangement that lets the room read as one quiet scene.
