A giant bird’s nest hidden in a tropical rainforest

I wanted to explore what a contemporary residence might look like if its architecture evolved from the structural logic of a bird’s nest rather than conventional villa geometry.

The result is a large organic residence wrapped in a deep woven architectural shell, with refined glass living spaces hidden within.

Set deep inside a tropical forest, the house is reached by a winding private road. I imagined the residence during a heavy tropical downpour, with wet timber, rain-covered glass, headlights, reflections and the surrounding forest becoming part of the architectural experience.

The goal was to create something organic without becoming rustic, and luxurious without looking like a typical resort.

Would you live in a house like this?

A cave house designed around natural light, stone and the forest

I explored a concept for a modern cave house where the architecture feels carved from the landscape rather than placed on top of it.

The living room uses a sunken seating area, warm timber and panoramic glazing overlooking the forest, while the bathroom continues the same language with sculptural stone walls, natural light and a freestanding stone bathtub.

The idea was to combine organic architecture, biophilic design and contemporary luxury without losing the raw character of the cave.

Would you actually live in a house like this?

Selling our Irving home after almost 10 years — hoping to find someone who will love the neighborhood as much as we have

Hi DFW! We’re selling our home (3BR/2BA | 1,666 sq ft**)**in Valley Ranch, Irving (75063) after living here for almost 10 years.

We genuinely love the house and neighborhood and weren’t originally planning to leave, but my grandmother is in her 90s and living in a senior care facility, so we’ve decided to move closer to her.

The house was built in 1994, but it has been very well maintained, updated over the years, and never used as a rental. We recently had additional maintenance/touch-ups done before listing, and the roof was replaced in 2024.

A few things we’ve really loved about living here:
Lots of natural light from 3 skylights

Quiet interior neighborhood location — not directly on a busy road/intersection

Great long-term neighbors

HOA includes front-yard lawn maintenance

Nearby Valley Ranch trails/waterways — great for walking, running and dog walking

Minutes from the new H-E-B, Sam’s Club, restaurants, gyms (24hrs, life time, planet, orange theory, Club Pilates...)and shoppings.

Very convenient highway access — about 3 minutes to I-635 and George Bush; 5-7mins to 141 and 35.

15min to DFW Airport

We recently adjusted the price to $435K. We know rates are tough for buyers right now, so we’re willing to be reasonable and flexible with a serious offer. Depending on the offer, seller credit toward closing costs may also be negotiable.

We’re also willing to include select furniture and appliances with an acceptable offer, which could make it pretty easy for someone who wants a move-in-ready home.

If anyone is currently looking in Irving / Valley Ranch / Las Colinas / Coppell area, feel free to DM me. LI’m happy to send the Zillow listing or answer questions.
And if you know someone looking in this area, I’d really appreciate you passing it along. We’d love for the house to go to someone who enjoys this neighborhood as much as we have.

I’ve always believed buying and selling a home is partly about timing and fate. This house has brought me a lot of good memories and good luck,I reconnected with someone I once liked and married her, started a new career after 10+ years at my previous job, and we’ve been happy and healthy here. We’re only moving to be closer to family and our 90+ year-old loved one, so it’s honestly pretty hard to leave. 🥹

A countryside home designed around a strong connection with nature.

The house combines warm red brick, curved terracotta rooflines and generous openings, creating a quiet, grounded character that fits naturally into the rural landscape.

A koi pond, tropical planting and a small garden pavilion extend the living space outdoors, while the surrounding rice fields and distant mountains complete the setting.
