In Austin’s coveted Bouldin Creek neighborhood, Rhode Partners has converted a Mission Revival–style church into four two-story, loft-style homes that enjoy 15-foot ceilings and historic details.
This converted church in the historic Italian village of Morimondo near Milan dates back to 1600. The repurposed interior includes three levels with four bedrooms and three baths.
