Join us for an extraordinary afternoon in Houston’s renowned Design District as benton buckley books presents a private, invitation-only gathering of celebrated Texas architects — the visionaries featured in the exquisite New View: A Curated Visual Gallery: Twenty Magnificent Homes by Texas Architects..

On Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 4 to 6 p.m., Thorntree Slate & Marble will host an inspiring panel moderated by publisher Beth Buckley. Esteemed architects Joshua Jones, Mell Lawrence, Burton Baldridge, Denisse Valle Hudock, and Don McDonald will explore the delicate interplay of regional identity, natural landscape, and poetic design — revealing how architecture transcends structure to become soul.

Guests will witness how collaboration between client and architect can yield homes that are profoundly personal, artfully resolved, and deeply attuned to purpose, environment, and place. Following the discussion and audience Q&A, attendees are invited to a celebratory reception and signing of New View Texas, published by benton buckley books.

This is more than an event — it is an invitation to engage in the dialogue shaping the architecture of our time.
