Mid-Century Modern Remodel

Renovate a mid-century ranch-style home

Setting

A neighborhood of expansive lots in southwest Austin

Goals

A family with young kids purchased this mid-century ranch-style home. It sits on a large, lovely lot in a neighborhood built in the 1960’s. The setting is beautiful and serene, but the house needed to be updated to make it a comfortable home.

Process

The kitchen was opened up to connect it to a large family room with expansive outdoor views, and it was retrofitted with new appliances and cabinetry. Spray-foam insulation was added to improve the home’s comfort and energy efficiency. A patchwork of flooring was leveled and resurfaced with stained concrete for a uniform look. The master bath was rebuilt. The refresh was polished off with new doors and windows, fixtures, hardware, and fresh paint.

Result

A cool, serene family home that’s now worthy of its lovely, wooded setting.
