Before and After:
Remodeled Houston Home

AFTER Pool Area

Mary Lynn and daughter Mary Louise read by the pool outside the sunroom-family room. The old sunroom was replaced with a two-level addition that includes a larger sunroom plus a covered porch. Architect Kirby Mears included French doors in several rooms facing the renovated pool, vastly improving the home’s indoor-outdoor connections and taking advantage of pool views. The redesigned swimming pool includes a hot tub and a bubbling fountain at one end. Chairs are from Thompson+Hanson.
