King Residence is a modern resort-like home designed with concrete, glass and stone by MC2 Architects, located on a busy stretch of Memorial Drive in Houston, Texas. The 5,680 square foot home generously unites the clients’ wishes for a resort-like space with the amenities and comforts of a single family dwelling. The plan of the house  follows the curve of the street with a bow and arrow formation.

Tilt wall construction and a material palette of concrete, glass, and stone form the composition of the house.

One volume houses the private sleeping quarters; the other contains the living, dining and entertaining areas.  The living area is bounded by water with a lily pond to the north and a koi pond on the west where a glass bridge takes visitors into the outdoor living space with a summer kitchen and lap pool.

The master bedroom/bathroom suite is bounded by gardens on both sides.
