Before the renovation this Tucson foothills home -originally built in 1944 and designed by renowned architect Josias Joesler- was a dated peachy tan with light blue trim and bore all the suffering of a good home subjected to an 80's re-styling. The dingy cream colored interior and exposed wood beams painted a deep brown gave the home a dark and heavy feeling. It was important to open the floor plan up and allow the natural light to flow through while also honoring the original aesthetic as imbued by Joesler’s design. The home became a gallery for the Owner’s collection of art and textiles and plants, walls painted white throughout, exposed wood ceilings sandblasted back to the original raw honest texture, warm woods and neutral colors in the furniture to allow the story of the Owner’s life to be told through the artifacts on display.
