David George, Architect
David George was one of the strongest modernists working in the 1960s and 1970s. He combined elements that drew from mid-century modernism and indigenous Texas houses. He incorporated standing seam metal roofs, continuous brick walls and planes of glazed openings. Two of his significant homes are in the Bluffview area found on 4234 Shorecrest and at 4050 Cochran Chapel Road, which he designed in 1980.

4050 Cochran Chapel
This is the original home of architect David George. While the sculptural quality of home is very visible from the street, it almost disappears into the street because of the similar height and setbacks of rambling ranch houses nearby. There is also an emphasis on the landscaping and the site. From the house you look over a negative edge pool, wide ravine and creek.
