Kipling is a large Montrose house that lives as much outside as in. Cement board and stucco, a deep porch, and an outdoor kitchen set against the garden — the Houston version of a great room.

Inside: high ceilings, an island, convection and double ovens, a plan that can hold a table for twelve. The lot is wide enough that the house does not have to shout.

North-south light, a tankless system, and a garden used most of the year. A house for gathering that still keeps a quiet core.
