The original structure was built in the 1870’s and was a 24 feet by 30 feet, two-level caliche and limestone block structure. In the 1880’s a two-room brick addition with a porch was constructed. In the mid-1900’s, after a fire and years of neglect, the home was slated for demolition. Due to the home’s historic value this request was denied. With the help of the San Antonio Conservation Society the structure’s exterior was stabilized but the home continued to remain unoccupied until the present owners purchased it some forty years later as an empty, firedamaged shell. Since that time the architect and his clients have worked together twice to restore, renew and refashion the home. The first phase, completed in the mid-2000’s, focused on creating a ‘pied a terre’ city residence that was intended to be used lightly when the couple came from their primary home in the country. The owners enjoyed the opportunity to use the home as an entertaining venue and art gallery for their paintings. When the clients opted to move back to San Antonio to live full-time, their small pied a terre no longer offered ample space for day-to-day living needs. Responding to his client’s desire to consolidate their client’s living, paint studio and gallery functions in one location, the architect recommended building a 1450-square foot detached addition that would add those necessary functions. The new two-story addition fits seamlessly into the character of the Lavaca neighborhood. The detached addition stands on its own architectural merits without touching, changing, overwhelming or overshadowing the original, historic home. The addition presents a “front door” façade to its neighbors along Refugio Street while also defining the end wall of the existing courtyard giving it added privacy and shade. Inside, an open plan allows for optimal use of the home’s living, dining and entertaining space. Floor to ceiling built-in’s and bookshelves flank the public rooms. On one end a bedroom is tucked behind monumental pocket doors that open up to the living and dining spaces. Opposite the bedroom an open, modern kitchen with generous cabinetry is flanked by a butler’s pantry and laundry room. Upstairs, above the kitchen, a loft space offers a private studio retreat for the owners. The loft is illuminated by north throw windows and an opening that looks into the first public spaces below. Exterior stairs give easy access to the studio from the courtyard. The historic home together with its new addition offer the owners a restful urban oasis with 24/7 walking-distance access to Southtown and San Antonio’s ample urban amenities.

The original structure, a four unit rental property, was in poor condition, but had a beautiful context and good orientation. Architecturally, a vague suggestion of its 1930’s origins was expressed in the strong horizontal lines of the Monterrey balcony and glass pane divisions of the French doors. The DNA of these elements suited the nature of the client and became a springboard for a major renovation. To create a house from the rectangular structure, the walls of the first floor were removed to allow for one large Living space. A fireplace and stair were positioned at the west side, and the rear wall opened to a new Courtyard. Four fir beams were slotted through the exterior walls to support the newly exposed structure of the floor above. The new beams project beyond the north and south facades to stabilize a sagging balcony on the front and support a new screen porch in the rear. The second floor was reconfigured to accommodate three bedrooms and a study, each room having direct access to the exterior porches. Beyond the 1930’s streamlined deco influence, the idea of a rustic home base near the banks of the San Antonio River held Rainwater Collection One Texas Water onetexaswater.com Solar installation The Renewable Republic therenewablerepublic.com Windows, Doors & Louvers Cardenas Millwork 210.222.9822 Photography Peter Vitale a poetic appeal. The nearby 18th century Zambrano House, with it's uniquely Texas Hispanic/Germanic influence informed the house in multiple ways. Primarily, it inspired the enfilade of screened and shuttered openings that provide multiple levels of airflow and privacy. It’s a time honored Architectural form that allows for air conditioning to generally be limited to a few winter days each month. In addition, the outdoor Galleries provide shade and encourage interaction with the Patio and street. External materials were salvaged or repurposed with the exception of the front Balcony which was rotted beyond repair. Oiled Jatoba or Ipe were chosen as a replacement for durability. African Mahogany was used for new exterior doors, windows and shutters. Contemporary late 20th and early 21st century technology has generally been applied to, rather than integrated into the Architecture to allow the core structure to stand the test of time. This includes air conditioning panels inside the house, photovoltaic solar panels at all south facing roofs and a rain water collection system that sustain the structure. URBANIST DESIGN ARTS & CRAFTS BUNGALOW 910 CAMBRIDGE OVAL | ALAMO HEIGHTS Architect/Contractor Jonathan Card, AIA urbanistdesign.com Stone Construction CR Stone Construction Colin Stone 210.421.4302 Metalwork Tedd Voss Metals 210.654.9935 Photography Marc Toppel T his Arts & Crafts Anglo-Japanese bungalow had been lovingly cared for over the years. Despite its existing unique details, good bones, and many owner upgrades, this quaint cottage lacked order. The homeowner’s experience of crossing paths with her teenager’s friends while wrapped in towels was reason enough to reorganize and selectively expand their home. The new addition reconfigured an existing garage into a master bath set right off an expanded master bedroom. Now facing the public street, this bath is marked by narrow sidefacing windows that maintain privacy while filling the room with light. The original construction is one hundred percent loadbearing masonry walls clad in river rock and cast stone. During renovation, hidden river rock walls were discovered and incorporated into the new design, inside and out. Existing wood shingle siding was matched on the exterior expansions, yet were given a complimentary chocolate stain as opposed to a straight paint match. Inside, industrial detailing melds with traditional painted wood trim, custom light fixtures and eclectic furnishings. Ted Voss Metals fabricated iron cabinetry that was hand cut, mitered and fitted with seeded glass panels. The gunmetal finish compliments the industrial wrought iron latches on the selfclosing doors. A massive wood and metal island of black veined soapstone anchors the room and holds the built-in counter top gas range. A set of re-purposed metal gym lockers are built into the kitchen wall near the stairwell that leads to their sons’ second floor bedrooms. An array of “guy stuff” left downstairs is placed in the lockers with the hope that it makes it upstairs. The part of interior designer was beautifully played by the owner, who chose wall coverings, fixtures, paint and furnishings for the redo. As the home’s best feature, a gathering room with expanses of floor-to-ceiling wood-clad windows and doors brings outdoors into the airy respite that adjoins the centrally located openconcept kitchen. A densely landscaped backyard and terraced pool surround outdoor dining and built-in benches, making the uncovered patio feel like a room itself. Altogether, the additions work seamlessly with the existing home, building off the bungalow features, while further opening up rooms inside and out. modmodern MIDCENTURY CLASSIC FURNITURE & DESIGN 2615 BROADWAY Your local house remodeling experts.

During the last 30 years, several roof and porch modifications changed the home and lost much of the original unique character found intact to its adjacent neighbors. The new owners set out to see how close to the original home design was possible, researching the existing available Sears and Roebuck plan books. The design team landed on this plan and home extremely similar to the current layout of the home with its modification. The initial design concept surrounded rebuilding the front porch (changed due to the new roof line added in the 70/80’s to offer a great indoor/outdoor experience) and particularly, focused on changing the curb appearance, and this concept design was provided to the owners for review. Hidden under the added stucco walls and hidden roof lines were the original era deep painted wood overhangs. The new porch and back master addition took the original details into account to tie the house together. Inside, the home was modified back to the original open craftsmen plan. The main focus was on making the kitchen a more open and inviting area, while maintaining the original cabinetry detail. Also, creating a family room where a small third bedroom existed made for a more comfortable modern living arrangement for a growing family. The additions to the home included the front porch reconstruction and the master bedroom suite connected to the rear of the home. Also, the new family room shares an exterior deck with the master suite for a private morning patio. A two-car carport was added to allow for a larger pavilion/backyard connection. 210 680 7665 512 444 5444 7 2 0 1 B R O A D W AY, S U I T E 2 1 9 S A N A N T O N I O, T E X A S 7 8 2 0 9 W W W.

Smith, AIA tobinsmitharchitect.com General Contractor Troy Jessee Construction tmjinc.com Interior Design Suzanne West Cavender Pool Liquid Assets Pools liquidassets-pools.com Light Fixtures Vollmer Electric Company vollmerelectric.com T his soundly constructed but sadly neglected midcentury house had not been updated since it was built in 1952. Additionally, exterior material monotony, a plan lacking hierarchy and interior volumes memorable only by their unappealing sense of compression made this a quickly passed over property. Deeper study revealed solid bones and smart siting, offering opportunity for architectural metamorphosis as opposed to canvas clearing, a wasteful and cost-prohibitive solution. Surgical removal of the front vestibule and the rear living room left a void between masses connecting the street side entry to the back side vista. A new roof was floated above this hollowed out portal giving an appropriate verticality to the home’s main receiving and entertaining spaces and breaking the singular horizontal line of the original front elevation. One flanking mass houses the kitchen, pantry and elevator shaft and the other the master suite. Both can be sealed off from the transparent public core with oversized doors that nest in thickened walls allowing flexibility and privacy. The level below houses a game room, wine room, art and music studios, as well as a guest room. Existing structural elements appropriate for this programmatic group include concrete TV Mirror Stone Standard stonestandard.com View Through Firebox Cozy Outdoor Escapes cozyoutdoorescapes.com Windows & Doors Progressive Solutions progressivesolutions.com Photography Mark Menjivar footings, timber columns and wood joists were left exposed to tell the story of the house and contrast with the refined main level palette. Built into the hillside, expansive south-facing apertures were the sole daylighting opportunity for the lower level. The projecting main level deck and covered exterior ramp do doubleduty serving also as shading devices for these openings, minimizing heat and glare. Exterior materials including burnished stucco, blackened steel, stained wood and bonderized metal were selected for their various properties of durability, texture, color hue and scale. Each was used in a capacity appropriate to its nature and fitting to the program it contains. Western red cedar siding wraps a two-story corner at the rear and re-emerges as an inset dash on the front elevation, together cradling the intimate private spaces of that delineated mass. The front porch, entry, living room and rear deck are unified by a continuous folded plane of Douglas Fir plywood panels overhead marking the public zone, guiding guest arrival, and offering a sense of intimacy to the tallest spaces. Stucco clads grounded masses containing private or secondary program on either side of the public volume bookending the public core.

Ranch style home was built in 1953 along the country roads found in the Northern Part of San Antonio just inside Loop 410. The homes found on these country roads of Cave lane, Rockhill and Country lane were located on large tracts of land and still offer the serene ranch road feel today-without sidewalks and street lights found in the adjacent streets. The new Owners at 278 Rockhill found the existing home needed some expansion for their newly growing family, and sought to expand the home to include a new master bedroom and detached garage and storage. Early design studies found that the property could expand the home affordably to include a “Family Compound” that used the available land for the necessary bedrooms expansions-but also to better utilize the overall site to create a private retreat engaging the outside spaces. The new expansion added approximately 1,200 s.f. to the existing home. As the existing home offered only 8’ceilings and a very low sloping roof, attention to the new addition spaces were consid- ered to connect the needed expansion spaces-but with higher ceilings and finishes expected on homes of today. For the existing home, the interior walls were removed to open up the living spaces as one enters the home to create an open and inviting living space. Where possible, ceilings were exposed to their existing height with vaulted spaces to lift the height in the rooms. The existing brick and stucco home were updated to include smooth hard trowelled stucco in a natural concrete finish. Main living spaces were accented with naturally rusting plate steel that continues to patina into a deep red/brown color. The east facing private family courtyard offers a greatly expanded entertaining patio and allows for the prevailing southeast breeze to flow into the new family room. The smaller side yard of the home offers a dog run with a private dog entrance through the utility room for the family’s furry pets.
