Bringing this post back from the dead but...

I visited here for my 3rd time this past may and drove by this house on the way to my condo. I was amazed, being an architecture student here in houston, I had to know more about the house. So I approached it from a beach one day and got as close as I was allowed to but still wasn't happy. So I emailed Mr. Dyson (the architect) and he was happy enough to send me more pictures. This is all I have at my work computer, but there's more at home.
Can you please post the pictures from the architect? I would love to see.

I was going through some old folders today and came across my pictures of the construction of "The House". No one had to say Hilton House, they alredy knew where we worked and what we were building.
I spent 10 years building that house, Chips house (what people refer to as the guest house) the three tier infinty pool, the messaage/yoga deck out back, a full bar and a full kitchen on the patio.
I was there setting sprinklers in the sand, packing it down so equipment could start moving in, all the way until Mr. and Mrs. Hilton had well moved in and we were tweeking the heating and cooling systems, teaching the cleaners how to maintain the teak hand rails, and attemping to teach someone how the smart home touchpads in the walls could control everything in the house from any room. it hurts to hear that it's not being maintained and is sitting empty. So much work went into that beast, I hope to hear it's used to it's potential someday soon.
Any questions, ask away, I'll answer what I can recall.
