This project involved the remodeling of a 1940s bungalow in East Austin. The project added approximately 600 sq ft to the house while maintaining the existing footprint and envelope by vaulting the ceiling and creating usable loft space. Existing shiplap walls are exposed as a striking design feature on the central load-bearing wall. Refinished longleaf pine floors and new concrete countertops provide elegant but affordable finishes. The remodel included improving the thermal performance of the house to meet modern efficiency standards.
