RIVER OAKS I HOUSTON, TX

Built on a private ravine acre, this River Oaks contemporary home embodies Modernist and Bauhaus Expressionism. The home was designed by renowned late architect Charles Tapley, who served as the center of inspiration throughout the renovation and interior design process.

As soon as you enter, renowned late architect Chris Tapley’s curved ivory walls climb to two-story heights along with massive windows, leaving the first floor drenched in sunlight. The homeowners love of mid-century décor pairs well not only with the home’s structure, but with their extensive art collection..
