An iconic First chair by Michele de Lucchi for Memphis sits under Antonio’s Rorschach paintings in the bedroom. "They're twins, made from an inkblot process," he says. When it came to buying the furniture he didn’t make, the architect thought about an adage from fashion designer Vivienne Westwood: "Buy less, choose well, and make it last."
Hosk's designer finds included a bouclé Bernhardt sectional that she spotted on Instagram, as well as a Mario Bellini modular sofa and a vintage credenza. A dining table by Ilse Crawford and a rug from Swedish designer Märta Måås-Fjetterström sit underneath oversized Isamu Noguchi lanterns. Danish-made, wide-planked hardwood floors run throughout the home.
When Austin-based firm Matt Fajkus Architecture was tasked with renovating this classic midcentury home, they sought to open up the interior—not only by unifying the common areas into an open-plan layout, but also by literally raising the home's roof. This strategy increased the ceiling height on three sides of the home, allowing for the insertion of clerestory windows to create a bright and airy open living space. "The raised ceiling maintains the original pitched roof geometry to stay harmonious with the existing gabled roof in the private zone," explain the architects in a statement.
