Mid-Century Modern Home Update
This 1958 mid-century modern gem had fallen into disrepair, with cracked terrazzo floors, outdated kitchen appliances, and a layout that felt closed off from the stunning desert landscape outside. The owners, design enthusiasts, wanted an authentic restoration that honored the original architecture while introducing contemporary comforts and sustainable materials throughout.
TWe restored the original terrazzo floors to their former glory, updated the kitchen with period-appropriate cabinetry and new high-end appliances, and replaced all windows with energy-efficient glass that still respects the home's iconic clean lines. The open-plan living area now flows effortlessly to the renovated outdoor patio, complete with a fire pit and native desert landscaping.
Preserving Iconic Architectural Integrity

We worked closely with historical consultants to match original materials, colors, and details. Every decision respected the home's heritage. The result is a home that looks like it stepped out of a 1950s design magazine, yet performs like a 2020s smart home.
Desert Landscape Complements The House

We replaced the water-intensive lawn with native drought-tolerant plants, gravel pathways, and boulder accents. The yard now feels like an extension of the surrounding desert. It frames the house beautifully and requires minimal water, matching the owners' sustainable values.
