TURPIN/WEST HOUSE

Location: Corpus Christi, Texas

Owner: Private

A recently retired couple desires a very small, modest, well-crafted home to fit within an older neighborhood.  They love sailing and desire the house to be as efficient a sailboat, with daylighting and natural ventilation all year except the occasional summer afternoon, and connected to outdoor spaces good for herbal gardening, birds, and butterflies.
