Philip Johnson conceived of Beck House, in 1964, as a work of architectural theater floating above the native Texas landscape. When a young family rescued the house from likely demolition, we revised its relationship to those surroundings, elaborating Johnson’s original design into a sequence of terraces that extend domestic life over six acres of managed woodlands.
