See Ivanhoe Modern Home
On March 28 the Houston Modern Home Tour opens the Ivanhoe Modern Home by Hann Builders and Collaborative Design Group — a rare walk-through focused on smart layouts and advanced materials that exemplify current modern-residential thinking. The event is being billed as an opportunity to see 2026 design details in situ. (send2press.com)
The Ivanhoe Modern Home is sited in Houston’s Afton Oaks neighborhood, a context the design team used to align exterior materials and street-facing massing. (send2press.com) Hann Builders and Collaborative Design Group describe a collaboration that stretches more than two decades, beginning with a 15,000-square-foot residence in Sugar Land that established their working shorthand. (send2press.com) The exterior uses steel siding imprinted with high‑resolution wood grain to mimic white oak while resisting Houston’s humid climate, and the interior features a real wood statement ceiling with stain matched to that exterior tone. (send2press.com) Site engineering included solutions for extreme drainage and on‑site detention that the team says were resolved before framing, and the lot’s rear easement reduced buildable square footage, forcing a tighter, efficiency‑driven plan. (send2press.com) Interior highlights listed by the designers include an open entertaining plan with a glass‑enclosed wine room, an elliptical bar, a fully integrated golf simulator, a dedicated scullery, a two‑sided fireplace anchoring a two‑story family room, five additional ensuite bedrooms, and a raised car lift that displays a specialty vehicle through interior glazing.
