Houston’s housing market recently welcomed its latest eye-catching addition: A striking three-bedroom, five-bathroom residence in the popular Museum District. Local architect Allen Bianchi built the contemporary 3,783-square-foot home in 2010. He worked closely with his client—who is the current owner—to create "a marriage between the indoors and outdoors," as the client puts it.

"My objective was to bring elements of nature inside," states the homeowner. To accomplish this goal, the main level features a tall, curved glass wall that frames the interconnected living spaces. The dramatic glazed partition brings an abundance of natural light into the home and also offers direct views of the private backyard and pool area.
