Webber + Studio, Architects along with custom builder Risinger Homes renovated this this mid-century modern home located in Austin, Texas. This home is nestled in the Mount Bonnell area, which is a prominent point alongside the Lake Austin portion of the Colorado River. The scope of this project entails the remodel and addition of a house built in 1962 by architectural studio Fehr & Granger. Officially established in 1946, F&G were one of the first and possibly most influential mid-century modern architectural firms in Austin.
The home was renovated to preserve its best traits, while updating them for indoor-outdoor living. The existing zoning and room sequence of the main level was kept intact, yet opened to create a beautiful 80 foot long living/dining/kitchen/family area. At the rear of the property, a terrace was extended to create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. This was created by designing a continuous limestone floor that extends from indoors to out. Additionally, a floor-to-ceiling, full-width custom window wall reveals and emphasizes the home’s original post and beam construction.
What We Love: This mid-century modern home features stunning design elements throughout the interiors, creating a welcoming living environment. The preserved details of the original home adds to the overall aesthetic, while modern updates helps to create a more sleek atmosphere. There is a fantastic indoor-outdoor connection, helping to create harmony throughout while flooding the spaces with natural light… Readers, what do you think, are you a fan of mid-century design?
