American architect Victor Lundy built his career on a deep understanding of material and form, crafting designs that range from gracefully soaring houses of worship to the rigidly geometric United States Tax Court Building in Washington, D.C. (1975). Lundy’s journey brought him to Houston, where he still resides, in 1976. Although he no longer lives in the remarkable home and studio he designed for himself and his wife, Anstis, our members have the exclusive opportunity to have a first look at this masterpiece Saturday morning, September 7, as it goes on the market.
Lundy House and Studio (1985–88) / by Benjamin Hill Photography
Completed in 1985 and 1988, the studio and home reflect Lundy’s passion for precision and spatial sophistication. The house is centered around an open kitchen and living area with a curved glass wall that frames views of the expansive lot. The studio, a dramatic single space, features a roof supported by seven striking elliptical arches made of glue-laminated hemlock. Both structures are unfurnished, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the details of Lundy’s design.
Join us at the Lundy House and Studio, 701 Mulberry Lane in Bellaire, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, September 7. This open house is free for members of Preservation Houston and Houston Mod; kindly RSVP by September 6 to help us plan this special event.
Thanks to Mark Maniha of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty for coordinating this open house.
