Originally built in 1955, this modest penthouse apartment typified the small, separated living spaces of its era. The design challenge was how to create a home that reflected contemporary taste and the client’s desire for an environment rich in materials and textures. The keys to updating the space were threefold: break down the existing divisions between rooms; emphasize the connection to the adjoining 850-square-foot terrace; and establish an overarching visual harmony for the home through the use of simple, elegant materials. The renovation preserves and enhances the home’s mid-century roots while bringing the design into the 21st century—appropriate given the apartment’s location just a few blocks from the fairgrounds of the 1962 World’s Fair.

The workstation alcove features a built-in bookcase with cantilevered desk surface. The gap between desk and wall allows the draperies to be drawn across the entire adjacent window for privacy. There's a passthrough into the adjacent Living Room to allow for a streetscape view while sitting at the desk.

A home office can be all business but there is no reason there can't be a little pleasure in there too. Amanda's home office doesn't lack loveliness or inspiration. It is bright and sunny with a comfy section for relaxing and reading. Her desk is clean and free from distractions but full of simplistic spark.

With its many windows letting in ample natural light, this sunroom is the perfect home office. White ceiling fan, trim, IKEA office furniture and vinyl desk chair pop against the dark blue of the ceiling. White IKEA shelving units, located along the wall and below the desk, provide much needed storage. The ceramic blue vintage lamp provides additional lighting, while the blue and orange tones of the rug unify the space. Photography by FishEye Studios

The studio was opened-up with a new cathedral ceiling, new windows and re-designed electric lighting. The original wood-burning fireplace and quarry tile flooring were retained.

Our Austin studio decided to go bold with this project by ensuring that each space had a unique identity in the Mid-Century Modern style bathroom, butler's pantry, and mudroom. We covered the bathroom walls and flooring with stylish beige and yellow tile that was cleverly installed to look like two different patterns. The mint cabinet and pink vanity reflect the mid-century color palette. The stylish knobs and fittings add an extra splash of fun to the bathroom. The butler's pantry is located right behind the kitchen and serves multiple functions like storage, a study area, and a bar. We went with a moody blue color for the cabinets and included a raw wood open shelf to give depth and warmth to the space. We went with some gorgeous artistic tiles that create a bold, intriguing look in the space. In the mudroom, we used siding materials to create a shiplap effect to create warmth and texture – a homage to the classic Mid-Century Modern design. We used the same blue from the butler's pantry to create a cohesive effect. The large mint cabinets add a lighter touch to the space. --- Project designed by the Atomic Ranch featured modern designers at Breathe Design Studio.
