Mid-century modern home in the Lone Star state
Now this is a nice house with beautiful integration of interior and exterior spaces adapted to the local climate. The home was built in the 1957 and was recently restored and updated by Austin, Texas based Steinbomer & Associates Architects. We're not sure who designed the landscaping, but we think that it is nicely integrated with the architecture and is perfectly suited to the local environment. The project included the addition of a master bedroom and a wonderful trellised courtyard with a translucent wall facing the street.

Updating, expanding and restoring the original luster throughout this 1950's modernist residence were the goals of both the owners and architect. A new entry courtyard, added for privacy from the street, features a pierced metal gate and is flanked by a series of freestanding, stucco walls and translucent glass panels. Extending the horizontal roofline over the courtyard, a redwood trellis defines the outdoor space as it casts a grid-like shadow pattern across the ground. Proportional consistency and dramatic plays of light and shadow between the courtyard and the new facade create a look of clean modernism and continuity between the existing home and the master suite addition.
The final design provides the owners with added privacy without sacrificing the home's natural open character. The modern features of the home were preserved and enhanced by subtle touches to accentuate its unique and simple elegance.The images below are so tantalizing... unfortunately there are not larger images on the firm's site.
