Kirksey Architecture — a Houston and Austin-based architecture firm, passionate about great architecture and all things sustainable.
As architects, designers, and planners, Kirksey believes it is their responsibility to design high-performing, healthy buildings that positively impact the people, environment, and communities they serve.

The Hawthorne, with its stately porte-cochère, will establish a gateway to the neighborhood. The building was designed to address the corner, maintain the maximum setback from the neighborhood and provide an extensive pool terrace with tree top views over Tanglewood. The façade is punctuated by large floor to ceiling windows and balcony terraces that occur at the corners and intersections. Rational fenestration treatments balance modern and traditional influences to gracefully order the building and give a sense of individual homes within.
