Philip Johnson's Glass House is in fact one building out of 14 that sit on the 49-acre property, each with their own approach to structure, geometry, siting, and proportion.

The Z House's structure consists entirely of concrete. Wood screens wrap around the sides, and Prefa materials top the roof.

As the midcentury era was winding down, architect George Smart was commissioned to design a low-slung brick and glass house at 2300 Timber Lane in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood. The home would go on to serve as the clergy house for St. Luke’s United Methodist Church for 49 years.

To enable the two families to live independently, and interdependently, Estudio A0 co-founder Ana María Durán Calisto came up with a 5,457-square-foot home that consists of two volumes, set in a Z formation.

The Edwardian hallway arch had been removed from the original home, and the design team was determined to reinstate it in the renovation. When the project became a new build, they decided to continue with the reinstatement of the arch in a more contemporary way. “We have played with CNC in the past, and the outcomes have been successful,” says Spencer. “So, we decided to create an arch that undulates in the x, y and z planes.”
