This 3-generation family weekend house follows a Texas 'dogtrot' prototype with two bars (a two-story bedroom wing and a one-story living wing) straddling an open porch to buffer nighttime rowdiness while accommodating outdoor activities through all the seasons. The porch, high, screened, and louvered for breezes and against the sun in the summer, has operable translucent panels on the north side to deflect winter’s cold winds.
