Stephen Fox, the noted historian of Houston’s architecture, will conduct a tour of six new, exciting, unusual houses in intriguing Houston neighborhoods. Since the beginning of the 2000s, the city’s most creative young architects have designed imaginative houses in interesting, out-of-the-way neighborhoods, usually to take advantage of reasonable land costs for clients with imagination and style. Most of these houses are compact, economical, and exhilarating in their departures from the conventional imagery of speculator-built Houston housing. We will meet several of the architects and owners who created the houses.
Stephen Fox is a fellow of the Anchorage Foundation of Texas and a lecturer in architectural history at Rice University and the University of Houston.
