Light House

300 Argyle AveNUE

At first glance this unobtrusive yet dramatic house appears to consist only of a transparent pavilion floating in a subterranean garden. Closer examination reveals a low, backup wing. L-shaped in plan, to which the pavilion is discreetly attached. Tan-colored brick, cedar siding and posts and the crisp rectilinear of the overhanging roof decks are in the San Antonio tradition of Modernist regionalism.
