The owners of this narrow, deep property wanted a contemporary architectural style without drifting too far from the traditional Victorian style houses of Galveston.
Second floor plan: the living room with a small balcony off of 21st street, a dining room and a kitchen that opens up to a back patio and the generous backyard.
The design keeps with the spirit of the island and its Victorian architecture in two ways: the proportions of the houses and their pitched roofs as well as the use of siding as the material of choice for the front facade.
The entrance to the townhome: a naturally lit staircase, hints of color from the kitchen on the second floor, the green railing and the organic forms of greenery beneath the staircase.
Standing in the living room, looking towards the dining room, the kitchen and the back patio beyond- the powder room and laundry rooms are hidden behind the textured green wall.
Material board for the living spaces on the second floor.
The last floor is a versatile space that doubles as a home office and an extra bedroom. The clients are avid readers, thus the reading nook that enjoys a clear view towards the ocean. This floor also gives access to the roof terrace and outdoor lounge.
