One of seven "Centennial Homes" built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, this Bauhaus-inspired International Style home was designed to usher in a new way of modern living. The owner-architects have meticulously renovated and expanded the unique home, blending a clean, modern design with a family-centric and warm atmosphere. The home’s careful preservation is immediately apparent: re-stucco of existing brick and re-glazed original windows. Inside, circular nooks, coved ceilings, and generous natural light create a unique living experience, both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The seamless expansion includes a family room and upstairs master bedroom, both opening up to soft morning light and a peaceful view of the outdoor pool—situated to frame 100-year old mountain cedars in the backyard’s horizon. The owners’ interest in clean, modern design is reflected across unique furniture and art pieces, many designed by the owners themselves.
