Located in the River Oaks neighborhood of Houston, Texas, this midcentury modern home underwent an interior transformation by Jamie Bush + Co. Originally designed in 1963 by architects Neuhaus & Taylor, the house featured variegated bricks and a wraparound colonnade. The living spaces are organized around a central patio filled with lush vegetation.

In 2014, the homeowners, a couple with two daughters, initiated a renovation and restoration project, enlisting Murphy Mears Architects for the task. Sometime later, the owners requested designer Jamie Bush to completely redesign of the interiors. The couple loves modernism, but they felt their home was too sterile, wishing to add some whimsy, color, and natural materials. The designers’ approach was to layer onto what was already existing, injecting the warmth of the exterior into the interior.

What We Love: This midcentury modern Texas home renovation project transformed a sterile home into one with charisma and vivaciousness. Designer furnishings are mixed with vintage pieces, building character throughout the interior living spaces. Overall, this transformation is a reflection of its owner, creating a family home that is filled with love and personality.
