Our team of Austin architects transformed a 1950s home into a mid-century modern retreat for this renovation and addition project. The retired couple who owns the house came to us seeking a design that would bring in natural light and accommodate their many hobbies while offering a modern and streamlined design. The original structure featured an awkward floor plan of choppy spaces divided by various step-downs and a central living area that felt dark and closed off from the outside. Our main goal was to bring in natural light and take advantage of the property’s fantastic backyard views of a peaceful creek. We raised interior floors to the same level, eliminating sunken rooms and step-downs to allow for a more open, free-flowing floor plan. To increase natural light, we changed the traditional hip roofline to a more modern single slope with clerestory windows that take advantage of treetop views. Additionally, we added all new windows strategically positioned to frame views of the backyard. A new open-concept kitchen and living area occupy the central home where previously underutilized rooms once sat. The kitchen features an oversized island, quartzite counters, and upper glass cabinets that mirror the clerestory windows of the room. Large sliding doors spill out to a new covered and raised deck that overlooks Shoal Creek and new backyard amenities, like a bocce ball court and paved walkways. Finally, we finished the home's exterior with durable and low-maintenance cement plank siding and a metal roof in a palette of neutral grays and whites. A bright red door creates a warm welcome to this newly renovated Austin home.

Set on an inland lake in a West Michigan suburb, this masterpiece features the defining characteristics of mid-century modern design. Balance and symmetry pair with splayed roofs, large overhangs, and trapezoid windows to create a model 1950s-60s style. “This home is one of my favorites,” Wayne explained. “The floating rooflines are supported by towering chimneys almost make it epic—it’s going to be an instant classic.” This home accommodates several of the owner’s passions; living on the lake, their love of automobiles, and hosting parties. A tranquil front courtyard greets guests and is flanked by a pair garages. Around the back, a series of patios provides plenty of spaces to enjoy the lake. The layout gives preferential views to all of the entertaining spaces which are abundant in this design. Two separate living rooms flank a centrally located, open concept, kitchen and bar which creates an easy flowing living space from foyer to screened porch. A luxurious and spacious master suite fills the upper level and provides the owners with a much-desired view of the lake without compromising privacy. Putting an exclamation point on the home and the foyer is a floating, natural wood, stair featuring a glass enclosed wine cellar neatly tucked below the mid-landing.

The architectural, historic preservation for this MCM gem of a home gave detailed attention to everything from restoring and repairing the once painted over wood siding to, repairing the windows, and bringing back the iconic patio fin detail that had morphed through the years. This meticulous attention to detail per the architect earned the distinction of being formally recognized as a historic home and ultimately qualifying for the coveted California Mills act. With stretches of glass walls and a seamless flow from outside-in and and inside-out - the connection to the landscape design ties the property all together with a variety of spaces to either entertain, play, or relax.

The owners of the Lau Residence were interested in breathing new life into this home that had been untouched since its construction in 1968. The focus of the renovation was to not only give the exterior a much-needed aesthetic upgrade but also to open up the interior of the house to more natural light, create a secondary suite and build a new addition to increase the building footprint and create a home for two families. Our goal was to maintain the mid-century qualities of the original house so many of the design elements included in the renovation were executed with this objective in mind. The material palette is a combination of old and new, providing a balance of textures between the sleek matte-brawn and raw-stucco finish. Driven by sustainable principles, the project is an adaptive reuse of the original structure that retains as much of the existing layout as possible, whilst creating a more modern free-flowing east-facing series of connected living spaces. The new addition cuts along the site creating a distinct triangle in a plan to re-orient primary spaces to the east.
