Sugar Creek (Virtual Tour) // Fitzpatrick Architects

Located in a wooded setting adjacent to the fast-growing city of Tyler, this home has a strong connection to the outdoors. The structure uses a modern aesthetic and technologies, while also reflecting the vernacular structures of rural East Texas through form and materials. 

The design of the home optimizes energy consumption and minimizes maintenance. The steel framework structure allows for large volumes of space throughout the home, with generous sweeping overhangs that provide shaded areas for entry and entertaining as well as solar protection for the large windows that connect the interior to the exterior.
