These clients retained MMI to assist with a full renovation of the 1st floor following the Harvey Flood. With 4 feet of water in their home, we worked tirelessly to put the home back in working order. While Harvey served our city lemons, we took the opportunity to make lemonade. The kitchen was expanded to accommodate seating at the island and a butler's pantry. A lovely free-standing tub replaced the former Jacuzzi drop-in and the shower was enlarged to take advantage of the expansive master bathroom. Finally, the fireplace was extended to the two-story ceiling to accommodate the TV over the mantel. While we were able to salvage much of the existing slate flooring, the overall color scheme was updated to reflect current trends and a desire for a fresh look and feel. As with our other Harvey projects, our proudest moments were seeing the family move back in to their beautifully renovated home.

Eichler X-100 Bathroom: A Study in Efficiency, Light, and Modern Living The bathrooms in the Eichler X-100 are a fascinating blend of innovation and restraint—spaces where efficiency, light, and thoughtful design come together in a way that feels both practical and ahead of its time. Designed by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons for Joseph Eichler, these rooms reflect a highly intentional approach to everyday living. A Unique Shared-Core Concept At the heart of the design is the X-100’s central utility core, where the bathrooms are arranged in a paired configuration. This innovative layout allows for: Efficient use of space Shared plumbing systems Simultaneous use by multiple occupants The result is a plan that minimizes wasted space while maximizing functionality—a hallmark of mid-century modern thinking. Light from Above Rather than relying on traditional windows, the bathrooms are illuminated by overhead skylights, bringing in soft, diffused natural light while maintaining complete privacy. This creates an atmosphere that feels: Bright, yet secluded Open, yet intimate Calm, yet visually engaging Light becomes the defining feature—transforming a functional space into something experiential. Clean Lines, Minimal Distraction The material palette is simple and intentional, emphasizing: Smooth, easy-to-maintain surfaces Clean geometric forms A lack of unnecessary ornamentation This minimalism allows the architecture—and the experience of the space—to take center stage. Thoughtful, Human-Centered Design Even the details reflect a deeper level of consideration. Features such as varied control placements and efficient layouts demonstrate a focus on usability and comfort, anticipating the needs of daily routines. Everything is designed to make life easier. Private, Yet Connected Though located within the central core, the bathrooms remain visually and experientially connected to the rest of the home through light and spatial flow. They feel integrated, not isolated. This continuity reinforces the X-100’s overarching philosophy: every space is part of a larger system. A Modern Approach—Decades Ahead What makes the X-100 bathrooms so compelling is how forward-thinking they remain. Concepts like efficient layouts, shared functionality, and natural-light-driven design are widely embraced today—but were radical in 1956. The bathrooms of the Eichler X-100 prove that even the most utilitarian spaces can be elevated through thoughtful design—where simplicity, innovation, and light create an experience that is both functional and refined.

The intrepid homeowner was taking on multiple projects with an interior, and exterior update and now a frontyard landscape renovation. Since they were no strangers to sweat equity, creating a cottage garden may not be too taking for them. Also, with a bit of patience (plants like people take time to mature) can be truly rewarding

The custom glass shower and mosaic tile enclosure helps both separate and unify the space depending on the mood of its occupants. The space was planned so the husband and wife would have adequate privacy but could meet romantically in the middle. The banks of windows does not interfere and allows in as much natural morning light as possible keeping with the overhang of the roof. Truly a master bath where body and soul can relax.
