This 1952 Don Russell mid-century modern home, renovated by Obelisk Home in collaboration with Cook Haus Design, is situated on over two acres in Springfield, Missouri. It was in rough shape when the project team got a hold of it, but mostly original. This residence stands as a testament to the project team’s deep appreciation for travel, art, and design.
The exterior façade of this single-story ranch integrates with the natural contours of the landscape. Clean lines, thoughtfully placed windows, and an innovative use of materials showcase architect Don Russel’s commitment to creating a harmonious relationship between structure and surroundings.

The interior spaces marry form and function, with carefully curated furniture, lighting fixtures, and bespoke elements that evoke a sense of wanderlust and elegance.
Beyond its inspiring aesthetics, the Don Russel Home was designed with family in mind. It embraces the concept of shared experiences, with open-plan living areas that encourage connectivity and togetherness.
The incorporation of expansive windows not only allows abundant natural light to flood the space but also blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, enhancing a sense of unity with nature.
A new owner’s bedroom suite, bathroom, and closet were matched to the original home. The whole house was preserved, including milling new siding to match the existing.
