1002 Edwards Street, Houston, TX 77007

1002 Edwards is situated on a 5,000 sq ft lot at the apex of the First Ward Arts District. The house hovers 13 ft above the ground, wrapping a 200-yr-old pecan tree, Scott Strasser, designer and builder let imagination and intention inform his design. Each space flows effortlessly into one another, creating a unified whole rather than a series of rooms. The u-shaped structure is clad in a rusted steel rain screen, with two cantilevered wings—one public, the other private—separated by a central link that houses a large storage room and laundry, coat closet and an elegant powder room. The private wing features two bedrooms with ensuite baths and views of lush vistas. The public wing boasts light-filled living areas, a chef’s kitchen with Miele appliances, microwave drawer, appliance hutch and spacious pantry. Quiet, substantial luxury runs throughout the home, evident in the beautifully executed details, well-thought-out lighting plan and high-end plumbing fixtures.
