This iconic Austin residence was first built in 1938 as a modern, art deco home that emulated a 1930s ocean-liner, with aluminum railings, porthole windows, a solarium with a curved glass wall, and a circular mahogany door that could be raised and lowered at the touch of a button. After purchasing the home in 2013, the new owners selected DC+A to make major updates to the home.The architects added a new two-story addition to the house, nearly doubling the square footage. What is most impressive about this renovation is the mastery of the architecture team in preserving the character of the home throughout these changes.The seamlessness is truly exceptional, and this is evident in that it is incredibly difficult to differentiate the old from the new in the finished project.

After discovering a former Brillo Pad factory that had been converted into lofts, a young family of four fell in love with the wide-open spaces and expansive ceiling heights, but struggled to find a warm, comfortable ambience and strike a balance with the raw industrial features. Chango & Co Studio started by replacing the bright white lacquer and stainless steel kitchen cabinetry with textured cerused oak and honed white stone. Then they broke apart the large living space to create a custom dining nook and more intimate living room, and turned the formal dining area into a spacious play area for the two young children. Classic silhouettes draped in neutral, kid-friendly fabrics worked to establish an effortless and enjoyable day-to-day, while large-scale artwork, unique lighting fixtures, and a coat of bright white paint against the exposed brick brought a light, inviting aura to each of the bedrooms.

River House is a 1,200 square meters construction designed in a wooded area of Valle de Bravo by L G Architecture Studio. This project is composed of two spaces, one private and one open divided by a river that starts at the main entrance and surrounds the entire house. The designer divided the two volumes by an artificial river fed by a natural one that borders practically all the land. It is built with steel beams that allow wide spaces without columns, large windows and double-height ceilings.
