This house began as an uninhabitable small 1915 bungalow in the Historic Houston Heights. We planned the revitalization and expansion with our clients over several years while planning and obtaining permits and permissions. The size of the home doubled in size while maintaining the existing footprint plus the addition. The end of the previous version of the home ends at the office off of the kitchen.
In planning the design we used many existing home features in different ways throughout the home. Shiplap, while currently trendy, was a part of the original home so we saved portions of it to reuse in the new section to marry the old and new. We also reused several phone nooks in various areas, such as near the master bathtub. One of the priorities in planning the design was also to provide family friendly spaces for the young growing family. While neutrals were used throughout we used texture and blues to create flow from the front of the home all the way to the back.
