Open for Visitors

Say "CASITA", and most people think of a small bungalow or a vacation cottage-an architectural afterthought cowering behind the main attraction. At over 10,000 sq ft, however, this casita estate in Houston, designed by Jane Page Design Group, can hold its own against any residence.  In every aspect of design and materials, this freestanding, two-story addition feels like much more than an extension, particularly in its comfortable, welcoming interior spaces.

For a sense of warmth and comfort the custom finishes are distressed and stained in dark honey.  The designers worked with a local artist to create a custom tile backsplash.

The equestrian influence appears in the hand-carved and painted wooden bridles and bits, back dropped with the natural stained tongue and groove wall panels.  Directly above the customized carvings and the paneling, the pop-up ceiling is rimmed with majestic horse busts. The designer also incorporated equestrian motifs in the custom carpet.  Photographer: Rob Muir
