House of the Week: Historic Hybrid in Phoenix

Every week, we highlight one amazing Dwell home that went viral on Pinterest. Follow Dwell's Pinterest account for more daily design inspiration.

Our house of the week is this incredible half historic, half modern house in Arizona. Jonah Busick of Foundry12 gave a 1927 bungalow a bold renovation by maintaining the original red brick walls at the front and constructing a steel, glass, and concrete addition at the back. Busick visually connected the parts by extending the existing gable roof form across the entire length of the house.

Busick refreshed the house’s east-facing façade by painting the trim a bold black that echoes the steel addition at the rear.

In the living room, Busick left the original brick walls and tongue-and-groove wood ceiling exposed, while he refinished the white oak flooring with a walnut stain. “We edited the newer renovations to the historic home down to the fundamental elements,” he explains.

Off the living room, two small bedrooms and a bathroom can be reached through sliding doors that, when closed, continue the cheerful pattern of the Moroccan cement tiles covering the wall.
