Inside the House

During the renovation, we discovered original 19th century beans, some signed by their artisan makers, which will be restored and integrated in the new design. Though structurally rebuild almost entirely, the house retains it’s identity through these subtle connections to place. A few American style touches reflect the client’s Texan background completing a natural dialogue between heritage and personal story. The project also responds to challenging constrains: a dense urban context, structure decay, limited sunlight, a striking hillside we chose to embrace.
