Property Description
Written up by national and local publications, this unique home is not to be missed. Inspired by the classic courtyard residences of Savannah, Charleston, and New Orleans, Wayne Braun reimagined it in a modern form. Instead of facing the street, the layout turns inward to a private garden and lap pool that become the center of daily life. Floor to ceiling sliding glass walls connect the living areas directly to the courtyard, creating a seamless indoor outdoor experience filled with natural light. Thoughtful orientation captures breezes, manages heat, and keeps the home bright and comfortable year round. Set in the Museum District near Rice University, it's a rare property that delivers modern architecture, true privacy, and a resort style setting in the heart of the city.
