Colorful Entry Doors

Known as the “Eichler of Austin,” designer A.D. Stenger built this charming house with a dramatic awning in 1964. Its current occupants honor the midcentury aesthetic with a bright orange door.

Originally designed by locally renowned architect Arthur Dallas Stenger, this 1960s home featured an unusual awning that was maintained during a 21st-century upgrade by architects Rick and Cindy Black. The architects partially reconfigured the interior layout, updated the kitchen, and added new doors to the porch, all the while making sure the adjustments to the house honored its midcentury provenance while still avoiding creating a time capsule.
