Originally built in 1958, the home became an opportunity to explore what midcentury modernism looks like when filtered through place and blending the optimism and color language of the late ’50s with influences from Santa Fe, the Texas Gulf Coast, and the relaxed, sun-washed rhythms of vacation architecture.
Rather than pursuing a strict restoration, the project embraces evolution over replication. Soft pinks, deep greens, terrazzo flooring, breeze-block screening, and warm wood tones nod to the home’s original era while allowing contemporary interventions to feel both intentional and playful. The new addition was designed to read as a natural continuation of the original structure, respecting scale, rooflines, and materiality, while opening the home to light, texture, and a stronger indoor-outdoor connection.
Throughout the interior, color and form work together to create rooms that feel collected rather than styled. A green-draped sitting area grounded in texture, a kitchen anchored by warm cabinetry and terrazzo, and a powder bath that leans fully into pattern and mood. The home reflects how we live today, but with an unmistakable sense of time and place.
