This contemporary home was designed for a charming family of five by Cornerstone Architects in collaboration with Glynis Wood Interiors, located in Brownsville, South Texas. The site offered sprawling space but with overgrown and deserted land. The design took advantage of this lot, bringing the outside in and incorporated lush vegetation. The single-level, modern floor plan incorporates light and views in all rooms.

Hand-picked antique furniture, doors and art grace the home adding personal touches and warmth throughout. The collaboration between the homeowners and the architect, builder, and interior designer was seamless, as each team member shared the same overall goals. The end result is an oasis on the bayou of the Gulf of Mexico.

What We Love: This South Texas home provides modern comforts with interior warmth. The selection of durable materials mixed with sophisticated details creates a beautiful aesthetic. Large expanses of glass helps to invite the outdoors inside when illuminating the interiors with natural light. Overall the design team did a fantastic job of creating a warm and welcoming living environment for this active family… Readers, what are your thoughts on the design of this home.
