2021 Albans, Houston, Texas

Description

A Tranquil Architectural Masterpiece in the Heart of the City,

This minimalist refuge blends Scandinavian simplicity with Japanese serenity for a uniquely peaceful living experience. Designed by award-winning CONTENT Architecture, the home sits on a rare double lot with expansive interiors and curated outdoor spaces.

A rock garden at the entry sets a tranquil tone. Living and kitchen areas open to a courtyard and resort-style pool through six oversized Pella glass doors — blurring the line between indoors and out. The sleek pool with sun shelf and lounge area creates a stunning backdrop for relaxing or entertaining. A second, more private courtyard invites quiet moments.

Brick and warm ipe wood wrap the ground level and define a linear upper floor with a skylit playroom and bedrooms. Inside, concrete, wood, and brick interact with soft natural light to offer subtle luxury and calm.

A true urban sanctuary — timeless, refined, and effortlessly livable.

Directions: From Highway 59, exit Greenbriar/Shepherd, South on Greenbriar, East on Albans, the home will be on the right.
