RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Over 3,500 Square Feet HOUSTON PAPERCITY DESIGN AWARDS FIRM Benjamin Johnston Design LEAD DESIGNER Benjamin Johnston LEAD ARCHITECT Marc Anderson ADDITIONAL RECOGNITION Greg Roffino, Benjamin Johnston Design; Moss Landscaping; Erin Stetzer Homes JUDGES' REMARKS "A bold homage to 1950s Regency glamour. This is really well done — each room seems carefully considered and decidedly theatrical, and it all works. The kitchen is a stunner, with the wonderful gold millwork and stage-like presentation. The fluted columns to each side almost feel like they are curtains drawn open for a performance." — Erik Evens "A timeless gem with a dash of whimsy, this house offers many moments of playfulness wrapped in a tight box of refined expectations. The exterior is a tasteful interpretation attending to every detail with a reverence for the whole. Once inside, however, past the regal fluted foyer, any reverence starts to give way. Gilded kitchen cabinets mimic suspended gold ingots, while razzle-dazzle tilework in the primary bath reflects off a mirror-plated tub. The effect is beguiling but also entertaining, making this house the life of the party." — Tyler Velten "This house represents a cohesive architectural experience, from the exterior to the interior, within the Regency style. There's a great amount of intention and detail that gives the house a sense of soul and a story that is authentic and timeless." — Stan Dixon HONORABLE MENTION Shawn Gottschalk StudioMET Architects.
